Need Help Calculating Yaw & Pitch From 2 XYZ coordinates

[Meatloaftwo]

I am working on a way to calculate pitch and yaw with a beacon sensor and a laser pointer. I have a few ideas that might work but I am unsure of winch would and do not want to wast time exploring all those options. Could someone could point me in the right direction of how I would go about doing this.

Link laser pointer to beacon sensor, output bearing?
No calculation required. Or do you need relative to world?

Can the laser pointer be linked to the beacon sensor ? :S

I mean.. Shouldnt you make a xyz-beacon and link the laser pointer to that, then link the xyz-beacon to the beacon sensor ?

Uh yeah right..

Had some brainfailure this morning I guess

What do you mean by beacon? Target Finder, Something else?

You know... The hullah dool. :P The one to actually _get_ the info.

You say to link a xyz-beacon to the beacon sensor what is a xyz beacon... also the code someone posted a link to outputs relative to the expression to to a person targeted. I want it to calculate the bear from my position to the position I am looking at so it outputs the bear elev of my veiw, if that makes any sense

I think this sums it up nice
