The basic idea is this...
I will have multiple cabinets next to each other in a room. Each cabinet will have a sensor located at the top. Within the cabinet will be multiple other sensors at different heights located on shelves. I want the sensor at the top of the rack to be able to locate all sensors within its own cabinet and also determine the height of each sensor.
Im not concerned about its exact position in the cabinet, only its height. I figured it would be easier to accomplish this by placing a sensor at each cabinet instead of using triangulation with a few sensors within the whole room. This could also help make the margin or error smaller, hopefully down to half an inch.
What do you think would be the best way to measure the distance to determine the placement of the sensors height (Y axis)? Also willing to play around with different methods: infrared, RF, etc.
