Sonic Depth Meter code & Math problems 12F683

Thanks guys. I'm trying to understand the math here, help me out.

What is the difference between * and **? I can't seem to find something on this forum that explains this. How does the math work.

For example, Henrik's suggestion above, how did you select 3060 to try and result in a range between 1 and 127? I tried random numbers and 2020 gets me close to my 127 value at full, but gives me 25 at empty. If I subtract 24 to give me 1, then I've also reduced my 127 to 103...Ugg.

and while I'm at it...how doe the */ and // work?


I really need the result to provide a linear value between 1 and 127 for this to work properly. So I feel like I need to determine the ratio of the reading (in this case with full reading 92 and emplty reading 364, I would subtract 91 from the values for an adjusted range between 1 and 273) then take the adjusted value and divide by 273 for a multiplier between 0 and 1 and apply that multiplier to 127.
