Navigation Program (Problem with Int32 and float)
PostPosted: Mon Nov 13, 2006 9:48 pm     Reply with quote

My Project is about creating a navigation program which used UTM Coordinates to find Azimuth angle and range.

Example UTM Coordinate

Waypoint[0][0]=669694 m; (Destination Easting)
Waypoint[0][1]=1531197 m; (Destination Northing)


Easting =673147 m; (Current Easting)
Northing =1518363 m; (Current Northing)

Here are my function to find Azimuth and Range

Code:

long NAV_Azimuth (int Waypointno)
{   long Azimuth;
    int32 X,Y;
    float Degree,Xf,Yf;

    printf("WP      Easting %ld \n\r",Waypoint[Waypointno][0]);
    printf("Current Easting %ld \n\r",Easting);

    printf("WP      Northing %ld \n\r",Waypoint[Waypointno][1]);
    printf("Current Northing %ld \n\r",Northing);

    X=Waypoint[Waypointno][0]-Easting;
    Y=Waypoint[Waypointno][1]-Northing;

    printf("X= %ld \n\r",X);
    printf("Y= %ld \n\r",Y);

    Xf=(float)X;
    Yf=(float)Y;
   
    printf("Xf= %E \n\r",Xf);
    printf("Yf= %E \n\r",Yf);
    Degree=atan2(Xf,-Yf);
    printf("Degree =%f Radians \n\r",Degree);
    Azimuth=(Degree/3.1417)*1800;
    return (Azimuth);
}

int32 NAV_Range (int Waypointno)
{   int32 Range,X,Y;
    X=Waypoint[Waypointno][0]-Easting;
    Y=Waypoint[Waypointno][1]-Northing;
    Range=sqrt(pow((float)X,2)+pow((float)Y,2));
    Return (Range);
}


The first function Problem is when convert int32 to float the value change.
The second function Problem is square of X and Y Value is too high for
int32.
Any suggestion would be very appreciated

Post a test program that shows the problem. Initialize an int32 variable
to a value. Convert it to float. Use printf to display it. Tell us what
value is displayed by printf.

Here is an example of a test program.

Do the same thing, except post a program that shows your problem.


Also post the PIC that you are using and the compiler version.

sorry for not giving you guys info here it is

I'm using PCH 3.249

I'm testing with PIC18F458 using Hyperterm

the result are

Code:

WP        Easting 661101
Current Easting 673144
WP        Northing 1515691
Current Northing 1518396
X= -12043
y= -2678
Xf= 4.294954E+09
Yf= 4.294963E+09
Degree =2.356196 radians


and Range =1779030016


the problem is Xf does not equal to X
and Range is wrong

I noticed that your values for X and Y are signed integers. In CCS,
an 'int32' is unsigned by default. This is different from normal C.
To declare a signed integer, you have to use 'signed int32'.

I made a test program as shown below, and declared X and Y as
signed int32 values. I compiled it with PCH vs. 3.249 and ran it
in the MPLAB simulator and used "UART1" for output.
Here are the results. It looks OK.
Code:

X= -12043
Y= -2678
Xf= -1.204299E+04
Yf= -2.677999E+03

Code:

#include <18F452.h>
#fuses XT,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,BROWNOUT,PUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000) 
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)

//=====================================
void main()
{
signed int32 X,Y;
float Xf,Yf;

X= -12043;
y= -2678;

printf("X= %ld \n\r",X);
printf("Y= %ld \n\r",Y);

Xf = (float)X;
Yf = (float)Y;
   
printf("Xf= %E \n\r",Xf);
printf("Yf= %E \n\r",Yf);

while(1);
}
