Yes, the input has to be in radians. degrees * pi/180 = radians or degrees/57.295779... = radians The output would be a decimal number between -1 and +1. Zack On Mon, 13 Mar 2006, wbounce wrote: > In the Math routine documentation it said that sin function returns the > sin of th

I'd forgotten the lack of ADC on the 2313. Looking over the data sheet again I think that the TWI hardware on the 48, will work better in this situation than the USI( Universal Serial Interface ). I have to suggest the 48 also, even with the larger size ( 28 pin ). Martin Jay McK

For a task like this, take a look at the Mega48. It is one of the newer, low-cost processors that still has a DIP version. It has more I/O pins so that an app like this might take less external hardware. Jim On Sun, 12 Mar 2006 14:43:28 -0700 "Timothy D. Lenz" wrote: > I have bee
