− | * | + | * They learned that there are 5 sensors inside the seeker, and you can get signal strengths for each one. |
* We also learned that there are 9 "zones" that use the 5 sensors. If the energy from the beacon hits two sensors, then it is in a makeshift zone between them. In the program, you can get signal strengths, or the highest powered zone. The even number zones(which are when the energy hits two sensors) are much smaller, and thus more accurate. | * We also learned that there are 9 "zones" that use the 5 sensors.
