I've made some good progress cleaning up the code, going from rough POC hacks to a more solid design th build off from. The next big change will be to add in support for more than one sensor. I also have now converted the angle information from a time into proper angles.
I mentioned earlier how stable the signal is. Below is an example of a sensor placed ~15 ft (4.5m) from the lighthouse. The sensor is near the center of the lighthouse's field of view (90 degrees is centered in X and Y), although I don't expect that to affect precision.
Units are degrees.
