Wrong values with COSINE!

[Melanie]

You're not going to get an answer any faster if you post it once or if you post a dozen times... but if you keep doing it, it'll be considered spamming and they'll all be removed!

PICBasic only handles integers. Like it or not, you won't get a fractional result.

I wasn't talking about integers... i noticed that you wre only concentrating on me sending many posts.. why not concentrating about the contents of posts?

the cosine and sine functions are not giving the basic answers...they are giving results in twos's complement!

for example, instead of giving a "1" for "cosine 0", it is giving 127!!

i need to go to the normal numbering system... anyone has a hint?

That's what System Admins are supposed to so...

You'll have a solution about an hour after despositing US$5K in my Bank Account... there's around a couple of dozen people on this forum that also have the skills and could probably get it down to thirty minutes... Somebody may do it for free if you're lucky and post it on the forum, but until then be patient... a lot of people only look at this list once or twice a week.

Uuuhhhh...

Super-Mel is right, don't cry as a angry kid !!!!


Use your brain, or source it out !

Transfering a value of 0-360 to 0-255 ?
What a heavy task !
perhaps: x*255/360 ?

And now, the final:
Converting a number -127..127 to -1..1 ?
perhaps: x/127 ?

Have a nice day, coding the FP-math. And after that you will see, it is not necessary, because your real problem has another - slim - solution.

Or use some of these f******* C-dinos around us.

It's not at all as you thought dear Mr intelligent...

THIS EQUATION DOES NOT WORK... just try it and you will see! don't just "talk", try and tell me the result... are you getting real values???

You don't know to whom you are talking - Stupid!

I worked with computers long time before there was a PC. We worked with this cases with blinking lights and switches in front...
I think, I know what bits look like and how to implement calculations ....

And now - I'm sitting around, waiting for you and all your friends...
But THEY will not help you!
