Measuring distance between two beacons

[edrtk]

We have the SuperBeacon set

When setting two beacons up and pointing them at each other, the distance in the map is a consistent several centimeters off (5-6). I'm confirming the actual distance with a laser.

Also - there are times when, prior to freezing the map - two beacons report different distances to each other (but the box in the distance matrix isn't red). For example :

Beacon 1 from 1->2 -- 100cm
Beacon 2 from 2->1 -- 105cm

Suggestions?

Super-Beacons do a lot of calculations in order to figure out the distance. But the big question: the distance between what and what. And the answer will also depend how exactly the beacons are placed - face to face RX4 to RX4, for example or side by side, etc.

100/105cm could be an OK estimate. The beacons check each other. However, whether it is really OK or not OK depends on relative placement, settings, environment, around, etc.
