my thinking is a little out there but yes .
so i made a function that will calculate the distance between sensors.
assuming im using water at a specific gravity of 1
after that i will be smooth flying.
this has been a frustrating but fun project so far.
but I'm a dork
its not always the finished goal that's important. because that could change in an instant.
its actually the path getting to the goal that has all the excitement and heartache . that what makes getting to the goal worth it.
after i get this dialed in today.
i have to learn how to make custom ui's so my dashboard is eyecandy.
cheers
