 | | Ultra Sonic Sensor Readings

I've read the previous postings on the ultrasonic (aka "echo locator" among my students). I'm experimenting to see what the cone of energy looks like. Does anyone have experimental data I can compare to? I also need advice of detecting the scatter. (...) (19 years ago, 2-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) It doesn't really gain you much if you are just converting the LDraw parts directly - l3p does that just fine, and fairly fast. The only advantage of a POV-ray library is when you start adding POV-ray specific stuff, eg: replace the curve (...) (19 years ago, 1-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Why not make official POV-Ray Lego bricks and skip the whole LDraw to POV-Ray conversion? Use the same names, scale, and coordinates and all you need is a small script to convert the LDraw lines into POV- Ray lines using the same translations. Or (...) (19 years ago, 1-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)
