  Re: Inversine sine function
 
This polynomial approximation looks better: ArcSin(x) = Pi/2 - Sqrt(1-x)*(a(0) + a(1)*x + a(2)*x^2 + a(3)*x^3 + a(4)*x^4 + a(5)*x^5 + a(6)*x^6 + a(7)*x^7 ) where a(0) = 1.57079 63050 a(1) = -0.21459 88016 a(2) = 0.08897 89874 a(3) = -0.05017 43046 (...)

  Re: Inversine sine function
 
(...) You might give this a try (for -1 < x < 1): ArcSin(x) = x + a(1)*x^3 + a(2)*x^5 + a(3)*x^7 + ... etc. with a(1) = 0.1666666667 a(2) = 0.0750000000 a(3) = 0.0446428571 a(4) = 0.0303819444 a(5) = 0.0223721599 a(6) = 0.0173527644 a(7) = (...)

  Inversine sine function
 
Hello, I would like to calculate an inverse sine (arcsin) function for one of my application. Does anyone know the algorithm of this trigonometric function? Thank you, J.M. Mongeau (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: L298 Motor Driver
 
If you don't already have the L293D chips it would give you more current capability if you used the SN754410. It is pin compatible with the L293D and supplies 1A continuous versus 0.6A for the L293D, and they can be stacked just as Kam suggested for (...)

  RE: L298 Motor Driver
 
James, Have you considered stacking two L293D chips on top of each other, solder the legs together and add a heat sink? You should be able to drive motors in the 1A range. Just a thought. -kam (URL) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
