Ping360 Unit Test

Sonar electrical board

Upon buying a $40 hot air gun, we took off the old power inductor, purchased its exact replica, and attached it onto the sonar.

Test by the pool

When opening the Ping360 sonar to check the wiring and mode, it was dropped from a few inches height onto the table. When we inspected it for any sign of damages, we noticed that the leg of one of the power inductor had come loose and broken off.

We then unit tested by the pool using the Ping Viewer user interface, and confirmed that it had been fixed.
