angle from degrees to a 14 bit BCD format

[venturer]

I need to convert an angle from degrees to a 14 bit BCD format. i.e. 0 degrees all 0's, 359.99 degrees all 1's. What is the best way to go about this?

Hi venturer,

angle(BCD14) = convert-to-u16( remainder( angle(degree) / 360 ) * 16384 )

Simple math, isn't it?

Btw.

This isn't called BCD. It's just a different number range (0-16383) for the same meaning (0-359.99°)...

Hi venturer,

one small correction: you have to divide by 360 once:
