Hi , would make an ultrasound sonar Fish Finder like this https://deepersonar.com/
I saw old posts (2017 2018) but i would know if there are started projects.... someone could give me any advices for make it?
I found a DS1603L ultrasonic sensor but i dont know if it will works in my case.
Any tips or idea to do it?
Thanks
As far as I know, no one has reported an Arduino fish finder. The problem is that underwater transducers require high power, high voltage (for example, 200 VAC @ 200 kHz) drivers.
I have this cheap one and it works pretty well. It might be possible to hack it for Arduino.
The DS1603L ultrasonic sensor cannot be submerged in water, and it has a maximum range of 2m.
The DS1603L could be mounted so that only the business end is submerged. As noted, max range is 2m. Suitability for finding even shallow fish is unknown. Try it and let us know.
More here, including links to in-water test results (for depth sounding, not fish finding) and a library by @wvmarle DIY echosounder - #6 by DaveEvans - Project Guidance - Arduino Forum

My finally scope is use in subemerged mode. Is there any other ultrasound module with could works more than 2 meter ? 10 - 15 meter could be enought.
If you'll see the product that i linked my first post (deeper ) it's a subemerged device.. small.. but could arrive more than 100m.
Any advice?
Hi,
Have you looked at the area pattern that the sonar transmitter and receiver will be looking at.
If it is a round pattern, the deeper you go the wider the area, so you will not have pinpoint locating.
