Jeff,
Your problem is with the 16 bit integer size that NQC uses. All integers
are in the range -32768 to 32767. Using 10000 to simulate fixed point math
operations is killing you. Everything works when you replace theta and D
with constants because the compiler evaluates the equation and replaces it
with a constant.

| Dean, Well, that was the problem...changing the 10000 to 100 makes me get a value back, however I think the error is too big for the robots to navigate effectively..I'll probably have to learn legOS so I can use floating-point and get more precise (...)

| Hi- I'm currently working on a project to get a dead-reckoning navigation system to work with NQC and the RCX. Right now I have a compass sensor and a rotation sensor hooked up and the idea is that with an angle and a distance, I can get an x and y (...) (24 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
