real number from pic ???

Hi!

I have an angle in the microcontroller from 0 to 360 , and I want to calculate its Sin , and display this number as analog .

I use CCS compiler , and I think that the Math library exists.

the hard thing how to convert the number from 0 to 1 ( if we neglige the negatif numbers ) , and with 3 digits after the point . (0.000,0.001,....,0.999,1.000) to a voltage .

Ex: if the angle=60 : sin(60)=0.8660254≈0.866 ===> 0.866V

thanks

First you will need to include math.h library, Then convert the angle to radian from degree.

#INCLUDE <math.h>
unsigned int16 angel;
float voltage;
....
voltage=sin(3.141596*angle/180);
...

But note that the built in function of sine will take around 2ms for the conversion considering 20MHz crystal.
instead I will recommend to use lookup table.

Hi
Ok, and how i can convert it to a number from 0 to 1 V

thanks

If you want to output 0 volt to 1 volt on a pin then you will need to generate PWM on that Pin.
If you want to display on LCD etc then the value is already in that format.
