Photobucket have changed their terms and conditions, they now want you to pay to be able to use the links to post on this and other sites. There are other free sites available but the pain is all the images we historically have on here that use PB are lost until we move them or cough up.

AFAIAA you pay the price per meter and the .4,.6,.8m is calculated as a proportion of the 39p. A length 2.4m long should be 0.39 x 2.4 = £0.936p which will be rounded up to £0.94p.

There is an option in INPA that allows you to reset/calibrate the sensor, the car needs to be on a flat surface to do this. Have a look around the program near to where you were to get the readings shown above. The reset takes a few seconds to do.
