Trig in ASM
« on: August 07, 2011, 05:30:32 pm »
Does anyone have fast 8.8 Fixed-Point tan and sin routines?  (Period of $FF.FF)
It does not have to be exact, but it has to be relatively fast. 

Or would a look up table be better suited?

I use this routine for a sin in my z80 project:
Quote from: Z80 Assembly
SinA:
  ;calculates the sine of a as a fixed point number
  ;IN: a
  ;OUT: hl = sin(a)
    LD     h, 0
    LD     l, a
    add hl, hl
    LD     DE, sine_table
    ADD    HL, DE
    LD     A, (HL)
    INC    HL
    LD     H, (HL)
    LD     L, A
    RET

Generated by the BBify'r (http://clrhome.tk/resources/bbify/)

and for tan, I use sin(x)/sin(x+90°), which has the same result

I hope this is what you are looking for.

BTW: look up tables are big, so i would only reccomend them when you really need the speed.

Quote from: Axe Commands: Sin
Returns the sine of the expression. One Period is [0,256] and the value returned ranges from -127 to 127.
I can probably modify the code, though.
