Simulated getObstacle() flipped

Issue #179 resolved

Keith O'Hara created an issue 2014-03-20

getObstacle() returns the distance to an obstacle, but the Fluke's IR sensors (which measures the # of reflections) decreases with distance.

Do you happen to have a sample range of values? Even better:

When obstacle is this far way, it gives this value: ...

close distance: medium distance: far (maximum):

Fluke2: far: 0, 0, 0 close: 1920, 1920, 1920 near: 6400, 6400, 6400

And what are those actual distances for far, close, and near? (You can use "scribbler" units---the length of one scribbler, or I can convert from cm/in)

6400: 0-3 scribbler bodies 1920: 3-5 scribbler bodies 0: >5 scribbler bodies.

Addresses ~~#179~~, try sample in issue tracker to see if that looks approximately correct

Try this code to check both length of IR and values:

from Myro import *
init("sim")
robot = getRobot()
robot.setOption("show-sensors", True)
joystick()
print(getObstacle())
