There is the classic Polaroid ultrasonic range finder. I think someone here was working on one of these or similar for lego? They work on the reflected signal approach. Now I thought you wanted to do off board triangulation. You can accomplish that (...) (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Subject says it all... Whether you have a Hannukah bush, a Kwanzaa shrub, or a Christmas tree, it's your DUTY, if you have any trains at all, to get them running around the tree. This will be year #3 for me. Good clean fun. (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.fun.holiday)

Like Pete said, this won't work. When people use lasers (or sonar) to measure distance, they reflect the signal back to the source and use phase shift to make the measurement. The proposed scheme would have to compare arrival times between the (...) (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
