That's interesting. I had originally approached a similar idea using
ultrasonic beacons in the yard, then triangulation. I later decided that
the ultrasonics wouldn't work too well - too much noise interference.
So, are you planning on triangulating on these object (play set, house
wall, etc.) to some sort of map of the yard? If so, is this unique to your
yard, or general purpose?
