Re: Camera Range Finding

Hey, russel, I think basically that you would use the readings from the servos to tirnagulate the distance. Basically, you know the height of the camera, and you know one of the angle, and so you can triangulate the second side using a sin function, not too hard to do.. Thats why its nice havign the servo output readings... After looking I didn't find anything like that currently in the code but it would not be hard to write a little alogrithm to do that..

Peace up.
