Now we do our conversions just like above. 121.779 / 5280 = .023 miles .94 / 60 / 60 = .000261 hours .023 / .000261 = 88.12 mph. So there you have it! How to calculate how fast you throw a baseball without a radar gun and only a stop watch.
IR Receiver and Remote. An IR receiver can detect bursts of infrared light sent by a common remote controller (like for a television), and then output a pattern of high/low signals to a Propeller I/O pin. This quick tutorial will first show you how to wire up the infrared receiver.
The satellites transmit timing signals and position data. A GPS receiver, which can be a small, hand-held device, decodes the timing signals from several of the satellites, interpreting the arrival times in terms of latitude, longitude, and altitute with an uncertainty which may be as small as 10 meters.
