    Thumbs up

    i was hoping someone could help me make an expression gate for an idea i have, ill try to explain it.
    i have a hovering and spinning plate with a gyroscope on top and a ranger on the side.
    while it spins it saves the rangers distance output to a ram chip with the gyroscopes output as the adress (ex. when gyro is at 1 it saves to ram adress 1)

    i want a holoemitter to output the ranges from the ramchip, but instead of just outputting along one axis (X,Y or Z) i want to output it in a circle.

    like putting the holoemitter on a spinning wheel, but without moving the existing points

    Ok, when you are figuring the trig for this, theta is measured from the center... so lets see.
    for X you would use Sin(Yaw)*Dist=X
    Dist from the ranger, Yaw(if the object is on the XY axis) from the gyro.
    Y would be Cos(Yaw)*Dist=Y

    Because I believe the measurements are in bearing format(like normal mathematical format but measured from the Y axis instead of the X).

    If that makes the outputs look funny, you need to use the opposite Trig function for x and y, just switch the sin and cos.

    Just use the X Y position from that to make the circle.
