8.6 CONVERTING 0-360 WIND DIRECTION
OUTPUT TO 0-540 FOR STRIP CHART
If 0-360 degree wind direction is output to a strip
chart the discontinuity at 0/360 will cause the pen
to jump back and forth full scale when the winds
are varying from the north. In the days of strip
charts this was solved with a 0-540 degree pot on
the wind vane (direction changes from 540 to 180
and from 0 to 360 so the pen only jumps once
when the wind is out of the north or south).
When faced with the necessity of strip chart
output (see previous example), the following
algorithm can be used to change a 0-360
degree input to 0-540. (If you have a 0-540 pot,
it can be used with the CR10 since the Wind
Vector Instruction, 69, will work with this output.)
To change 0-360 degrees to the 0-540 degrees,
360 degrees must sometimes be added to the
reading when it is in the range of 0 to 180. The
following algorithm does this by assuming that if
the previous reading was less than 270, the vane
has shifted through 180 degrees and does not
need to be altered. If the previous 0-540 reading
was greater than 270, 360 degrees is added.
This example is written as a subroutine, used by
the previous example to output an analog
voltage to a strip chart.
