Well, I've already done that, as well as a nifty display meter, and some other
stuff that depends on trig functions... but I did it all in NXT-G, without the
toolbox:

I'm looking forward to trying your custom stuff, however, as my NXT-G trig
functions (particularly atan()) were getting ugly... How did you implement the
trig functions (Taylor, lookup, or other)? I didn't use Taylor because of the
inaccuracy around 90°, but under LV, it might be easier to just push the the
approximation to better levels.

(...) As explained on our pages, I am using CORDIC algorithm. This assures best accuracy and converges much more rapidly than Taylor. There is one trade-off though, because there is no bit shifting operation in the toolkit, I must do division (...) (18 years ago, 23-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics)

now we have a complete integer trig-function package. Challenge : who is going to draw the first sine and cosine waves on the NXT display? Please report any bugs. www.convict.lu/Jeune...sIntro.htm Claude (18 years ago, 22-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics)
