Re: IR Beacon/reciever not working... still...

the sensors don't directly measure distance - if you want to find that, you'll have to use something called parallax - that is, using the two angles of the sensor servos, plus the known distance in between them, to calculate the missing sides of a triangle, and thus know the distance.
