sin8_C()

LIB8STATIC uint8_t sin8_C

(

uint8_t

theta

)

Fast 8-bit approximation of sin(x).

This approximation never varies more than 2% from the floating point value you'd get by doing

float s = (sin(x) * 128.0) + 128;

Parameters

theta

input angle from 0-255

Returns

sin of theta, value between 0 and 255
