Hello,

I'm using a transmitter to transmit 40k square sound waves to 2 receivers on a robot. I want the robot to know which direction the transmitter is and adjust to it (to later drive to it) .

So I'm in the first stages of figuring this out but confused and need help.(correct me if I'm wrong on anything)

To calculate the direction of the transmitter, I will have to know the phase difference between the waves of receiver 1 and 2, so I will be able to calculate which arrives first(but is it based on direction of which came first or strength?). But how do I calculate this phase difference? through hardware or software and how?

Moreover, how do I output the calculations of the phase difference (through micro-controller hardware or software)?

Please advise me if I'm in the right direction and if you have an idea or different approach.

Thank you

I'm using this kit for transmitter and receiver.
