Re: How Does My Distance Finding Method Look?

If you know angle two, why not base all of your math off of that?

Also, I would suggest trying out an IR or Ultrasonic pinging range finder and seeing what the feedback looks like. I think you will be surprised at how noisy they are when pointed at different surface finishes with different attack angles.
