A calculator to predict the amount of latency it takes for a signal to reach a destination or distance. Can calculate 1 way and round trip latency, as well as a timer for if you want a signal to reach at a specific time. Has a few in-built presets, like the Moon or Voyager 1.
Overview: By inputting the distance (either preset or custom), the time it takes to process the command on the device in space, and (optional) the time you want the signal to reach at, you will receive the following:
- One Way Latency
- Round Trip Time
- Time that you have to click send at for the signal to reach at the time you provided.
Information: To ensure the code works properly, please ensure that you input the following parameters:
If you dont want an error with the date, input a time (am or pm obv).
Not entering a time gives an error, but its optional. The calculator uses the speed of light in km per second. It is the speed of light because all electromagnetic waves (including radio waves) travel at this speed. There are some inconsistencies with the upload times for the index.html and the other stuff, thats because I was rushing to ship the project as its the end of flavortown. n.
