A few weeks back I posted an article regarding the best type of Elec-Mag Rad to use for measuring the distance to an moving object. I wanted to be able to use triangulation to figure out the exact 3D location of the transmiter. After review of all your responses I have determined that the most effective (and cheapest) way to produce these results is to use ultrasonics. So, my new questions are these: 1) Where can I purchase a relatively cheap and accurate ultrasonic transmitter/reciever set? (Phone #, Addresses) 2) Can I get a Receiver(1) to receive more than one frequency at once? Say for example: )--TRANS #1 )--TRANS #2 RECV --( )--TRANS #3 )--TRANS #4 )--TRANS #5 )--TRANS #6 Where each transmitter (1-6) is on it own frequency. 3) If I cannot receive these signals simutaneously, then can I receive them in a sequence of say .25 second as such: SIGNAL RECEIVED (HIGH) ------ ---------------------------------- 1 __||______________________________ 2 _____||___________________________ 3 ________||________________________ 4 ___________||_____________________ 5 ______________||__________________ 6 _________________||_______________ Thanks in Advance!!!!!! -- >><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>><<>> | Respond to any of these adresses: | "Oh Lord...Ooooh you are so big..,| | -------------------------------- | So absolutely huge.
