It would be way too easy to use telescience if the equations were that simple! To compensate, Nanotrasen has added some features to make telescience more inaccurate! Basically, there are little "offsets" that get added to the values you input. For now, we're just going to deal with two offsets, because that is how the teleporter currently is. Here they are: | ||

Let's get started, shall we? | Let's get started, shall we? | ||
==Step 1, in detail== | |||

#Write down the coordinates somewhere | |||
#To calculate the distance the GPS traveled, we use the following equation | |||
[[File:Telescience gps distance equation.png]] | |||
We use 185 and 97 because the telepad is located at 185, 97. | |||
Write down that distance somewhere. | |||
==Steps 2-3, in detail== | |||
Alright, so now you have some values. Time to plug that shit into the equations. | |||
For the purposes of this article, the GPS that we teleported ended up at 184, 137. The distance the GPS traveled is 40.01249804748511...''ish'', or the square root of 1,601. The bearing, elevation, and power were 0, 45, and 20, respectively. | |||
First thing we're going to do is plug the numbers we have into the DestinationX equation to determine the bearing offset. | |||
[[File:Telescience plugged distanceX equation.png]] | |||
Subtract 185 from both sides | |||
[[File:Telescience plugged distanceX equation step 1.png]] | |||
Divide both sides by 40.01249804748511 | |||
[[File:Telescience plugged distanceX equation step 2.png]] | |||
Take the arcsin of 0.02499479361892 | |||
[[File:Telescience plugged distanceX equation step 3.png]] | |||
By default, my calculator calculates stuff in radians. To convert to degrees, multiply by 180/pi | |||
[[File:Telescience plugged distanceX equation solved.png]] | |||
And we end up with a value of 1.432245340659903. Multiply that number by -1, and you have your bearing offset. It's either -1 or -2! | |||
==Steps 3-4, in detail== | |||
Now to solve for the power offset. | |||
First, plug in your values. We know the distance is equal to the square root of 1601, so no need to calculate that again. Elevation was 45, and the Power was 20. | |||
[[File:Telescience plugged distance equation.png]] | |||
Well, the sine of 90pi/180 radians, or pi/2, is 1, so we can cut that shit out of the equation | |||
[[File:Telescience plugged distance equation step 1.png]] | |||
Multiply both sides by 10 | |||
[[File:Telescience plugged distance equation step 2.png]] | |||
Take the square root of both sides | |||
[[File:Telescience plugged distance equation step 3.png]] | |||
Well, we know that PowerOffset must be a negative number. Therefore we can remove those bars and multiply the left side of the equation by -1. | |||
[[File:Telescience plugged distance equation step 4.png]] | |||
Add 20 to both sides | |||
[[File:Telescience plugged distance equation step 5.png]] | |||
Which is equal to -0.0031242678450383. Therefore, the power offset is 0. | |||
