Re: Acoustic Modem For A Hobby AUV

I'm building an AUV for hobby use, however I'm having trouble whe it comes
to communications. So far I've considered sending DTMF tones through 2, 2
way radios, and encoding sets of numbers on R/C equipment but neither will
travel/penetrate far enough (<3m).

It needs to be a duplex system capable of transmitting 32 on/off comands and
8 values (0-255) through about 100m of water.

So far I've found lots acoutic modems except they are more for industrial
use and so are rather high-spec compared to what I need.

You proberbly know that atomic subs use very low frequency less than 3 kHz
asfair to send to a submarine. Maybe slightly higher frequencies would be ok
in this case.

As for acoustic, maybe you could either try to use a modem + waterproofed
speaker/mic. If that won't work you might have to implement your own algorithm.
