Is it possible to use a laser with basic stamp and create a telemetry
system?

If were possible, what kind of circuitry do I need for this purpose?
and how does telemetry works (I only know that a light pulse is shot, then
you measures the time it takes to the beam to return to the emitter and then
do some calculations with the time to obtain distance)
But we're talking of light's speed (300.000k/s) and I think we're gonna need
some floating point math.
am I right?
Please correct me if not
Carlos...

What form of telemetry? device location or data transmission?

very accurate.I would say around 1/2 inch resolution. I use averaging of 5
measurments to weed out any false impressions. It has a range of 4 inchs to
2 feet

Carlos, what acuracy do you need with the laser system? The sharp GP2D02 is
very accurate.I would say around 1/2 inch resolution. I use averaging of 5
measurments to weed out any false impressions. It has a range of 4 inchs to
2 feet

How do you linearize the output?
you mean laser output?

I was refering to the GP2D02 whose output is not linear with
distance. One method I have seen is to square the output number.

so... can you tell me how telemetry systems works?
Thanks. Carlos.
