The relationship between feet and meters is exactly 0.3048 feet per
meter. Your conversion value of 12/39.4 is approximately 0.30456... It
would be better to do:
# constants
...
var radTOdeg = 57.295779;
var ftTOmeter = 0.3048;
...
# Right main
var delta_h = dhR_ft.getValue()*ftTOmeter;
var right_alpha_deg = ( math.acos( (h0 - delta_h)/R_m ) - theta0_rad
)*radTOdeg;
# Left main
var delta_h = dhL_ft.getValue()*ftTOmeter;
var left_alpha_deg = ( math.acos( (h0 - delta_h)/R_m ) - theta0_rad
)*radTOdeg;
This is more exact and also avoids two divisions per frame.
Thanks,
Ron
