Two units, one transducer?

Anyone have any information on how I can use the two Eagle 320's with
only one transducer? Guess I want them to both show the same
thing/avoid pinging each other/etc...
If I were gonna try to do something like that, I'd try to provide a
duplicate screen, rather than to have two full functioning units. This
way, you have one master unit and a slave screen that replicates the screen
on the master. You'd probably need to capture the harness that the LCD
plugs into, T off of it, install some drivers, and run a cable to the other
LCD. If there is any on-board programming on a non-OEM LCD module, as
opposed to a simple standalone LCD, all bets would be off.
Unless I miss my guess, the signal that excites the transducer probably
rides on the same wires a the signal coming back from the transducer. You
might be able to find the driver chips that excite the transducer on one
units and cut the traces, and hope that whatever synchronization that times
when the signal should be coming back is in place is very forgiving. I
wouldn't hold my breath.
