if I'm not mistaken it is somthing like this:

sqrt( sqr(x1 - x2) + sqr(y1 - y2))

it is that trigonometric rule I think, the suqare of the size of the diagonal line of a triangle is equal to the sum of the square of the horizontal and the vertical lines, or somthing like that

^^ thanx for the formula! it makes sense!

but as a programming noob i'm stuck again!

this is my script so far:

var.x1=wiimote.dot1x
var.x2=wiimote.dot2x

var.y1=wiimote.dot1y
var.y2=wiimote.dot2y


if Wiimote.dot1vis and wiimote.dot2vis then

var.ent1 = sqr( sqr(var.x1 - var.x2) + sqr(var.y1 - var.y2))

endif

if var.ent1 < ??? then

ctrl+down = wiimote.RelAccZ

else

ctrl=false

endif

now i've to context my var.ent1 with the range of the dots but i don't know how! and when the range of the wiimote is going more and more far away, it should release the ctrl+down order to zoom im im googleearth.
in the script: ??? what value should i use?

hi TiagoTiago,
this is your signatur:
phpBB doesnt like me, somtimes it will forget to warn me about new replies to threads i asked it to, if you see a thread I should have responded, please let me know?

but in this board pm is disabled!

have you another hint for me? ^^

[TiagoTiago]

then it would be email, I'm adjusting my sig to avoid further confusion

and about your code, add somthing like

[djatzmo]

ah, debug is very helpful! thx

here is miy new script:

var.x1=wiimote.dot1x
var.x2=wiimote.dot2x

var.y1=wiimote.dot1y
var.y2=wiimote.dot2y

var.SensorBarSeparation = 7.5 inches

if Wiimote.dot1vis and wiimote.dot2vis then

var.ent1 = sqr( sqr(var.x1 - var.x2) + sqr(var.y1 - var.y2))

endif

if var.ent1 > var.IRDstance and wiimote.minus then

ctrl+down = wiimote.RelAccZ


else

ctrl=false

endif

debug= var.ent1



//from here it is from carl kenners 5dof script i don't know if this ist the right part for my script

if wiimote.dot1vis and wiimote.dot2vis then
if var.dot1x <= var.dot2x then
var.leftdot = 1
var.dotdeltay = var.dot2y - var.dot1y
else
var.leftdot = 2
var.dotdeltay = var.dot1y - var.dot2y
end if
var.dotdeltax = abs(var.dot1x-var.dot2x)
var.DotSep = hypot(var.dotdeltax, var.dotdeltay) * 511.5
var.IRDistance = var.SensorBarSeparation * 1320 / var.DotSep
end if


but the values i get from the debug parameter make no sense. it vary from 1 to 9 with 9 digits behind the comma.

example:
1.134908E11 -> i get this valuie when i'm far away and when i'm close to the sensorbar. that make no sense! only E changes!

i think you can ignore the number before the E. i found out, that E11 (about 30 cm) means you are near the sensor bar an E becomes less when you go far away. for example: E9 means something about 1 meter.
but when you come closer (about 15 cm) the numbers will freeze.
maybe i can use the E value in my script but how?
i can't work with the whole number mentioned above ^^

EDIT:
the problem in this script is, that googleearth will zoom out but not while the backward movement only when the wiimote points to the ground or the ceiling. i thibnk there is something wrong with the order wiimote.RelAccZ!

i've replaced this:
if var.ent1 < 1.134908E11 and wiimote.minus then

[TiagoTiago]

I've gave up trying to figure out what you had in mind and what was worng on that code so instead I striped everything not required to measure the distance from Carl's script, here is what I got:

[djatzmo]

^^ wow thanks! now i can measure the distance.

but now i've to implement the order for googlearth to zoom in (ctrl+down) and zoom out (ctrl+up) by back- and forward movements.

your hint doesen't work.
