Resolution of IR sensors
Ok, so I have a question. (obviously since i'm posting this) What is the angular resolution of the IR sensors? Now, at first glance you might think this is a stupid question, so let me clarify. By resolution I mean what is the accuracy that you can get, within 1 degree, 0.1 degree. Now, I haven't studied this a whole lot so I may be wrong, but I think that the IR sensor is mounted on a servo and controled that way. So this maybe a quesiton of how accurate is the servo. Or maybe how accurate is the servo and the sensor combined. I'm not sure because I haven't looked at it closely. The quesiton still stands. What is the resolution/accuracy of the sensor?
