RE: Mapping
means to sense the boundary.
The rest is software but by no means obvious.

RE: Mapping
What is the speed ? Is the area different each time ?

means to calibrate it. e.g. two proximity sensors, corner
reflectors etc. at fixed locations.
You could even get the desired accuracy with ultrasound with 3 transmitters.

Compass 1 Compass 2
Send current through the compass pointers and set up contacts at the north and south points that prevent the pointers from crossing them. In this way, compass 1 should never be able to point east and compass 2 should never be able to point west. This gives you 9 theoretically possible outputs:
Compass 1 Compass 2 Facing Direction
n/c n/c (Impossible)
n/c N East
n/c S East
N n/c West
N N North
N S West
S n/c West
S N East
S S South

RE: Mapping
the beam parallel to the incident one.
You can measure the angle between any two CRs (2 CRs may be very close so their angle is minimum). If you know the position of the CRs and the angles, you can calculate your position.
If you rotate the beam, you can measure the angles very accuretelly. ( Tachom., PLL etc.)

RE: Mapping
We wanna put a wire follow aroung the parimeter of the operational area...simular to the electric dog fences I assume...any thoughts on this? can I use the dog collar? if so how does it work?
thanks
