When I first bought my townhouse, I thought the huge park behind was
good.

A device installed on my kid's 4wheeler, which contains a digcam censor,
a powerful uP with some field programmable gate array chips, an air rifle
which can shoot a plastic bullet 200 meters, plus some sensors yet to find
out. My electronics will detect the speed, direction and height of the
plane, determine the firing angle and time of my rifle and fire.

What are the algorithms to calculate the speed, direction and height of
the
plane?

Any new ideas are also welcome.

However, on the science side of things... if you wanted to calculate
speed,
direction and height, you'd need a radar of some sort.

My air defence system is on a fixed platform now, with campass mounted on
the rotating
camera to see its direction.

I was aware that from the shape of the plane I can google and identify the
model, from the
model I can find out the dimension, and together with focal length I can
calculate the distance
from the camera. With the angle and orientation of my camera, I can
calculate the angel of the
plane with respect to the ground, and the direction it flies, plus the
height.

Is this a good plan?

With some of your stupid snide remarks I wonder if you even read the

This is getting better all the time.Most impressed with the air defence
system idea incorporating the glue filled watergun and the cotton wires.
I love this bit "With the angle and orientation of my camera, I can
calculate the angel of the
plane with respect to the ground, and the direction it flies, plus the
height."
If thats the case you wont be able to shoot them down.They are protected by
god.
Now you are getting into some seally serious stuff.

All you soft cocks who keep sniping at Phil are pathetic.

In the short time I have been reading this ng he has probably posted
more good advice than most, certainly more than you whining little
grovellers.

I have always wondered what inspired Phil's rants, and while not knowing
the dude, I reckon it is his observation of pretence.

Always directed at those who need to be on a pedestal, viewing the
minions from above. Wankers, losers, pretenders. In short, the people
who really end up causing the most grief in the world. A pox on you all.

One thing for sure. I get no laughs from any you. With Phil, half the
time I am chuckling before I read his posts.

And if you are really so intelligent, why do you keep on baiting him???

Get a life...

Hey Phyllis - I didn't realise your mother posted to usenet.

Ask Phyllis about Winfield Hill. Ask Phyllis how he's had three
ISPs shut down accounts because of his abuse on usenet.

Then Google the newsgroups and read some of his hundreds
of previous posts - try sci.electronics.design particularly - he
doesn't post there any more. He was chased away.

Phil Allison is a nasty little bully who has done more to damage
this (and many other) newsgroups than the combined weight
of all the other loonies who post here.

It's a shame he operates in such a manner because I am the
first to acknowledge that in his area of electronics he has
excellent skills and sometimes makes good technical
contributions

I recall, about 10 years ago just as the internet was becoming
known to the public, Douglas Adams (Hitch Hiker) saying:
"on the internet things which normally live under rocks are
suddenly in your face".

Unless people stand up to little Phyllis he'll dominate this
newsgroup to the point where few will dare post - which is
exactly what he want's - but it ain't going to happen.

The vile prick needs to be deported back to the UK - and his whole family
too.
