constrain()

float constrain	(	float	input,
		float	minValue,
		float	maxValue
	)

Constrains an input between two values.

Parameters

input	Value to be constrained.
minValue	Lower threshold.
maxValue	Upper threshold.

Returns

float Constrained value.

constrain16()

uint16_t constrain16	(	uint16_t	input,
		uint16_t	minValue,
		uint16_t	maxValue
	)

Constrains an input uint16_t between two values.

Parameters

input	Value to be constrained.
minValue	Lower threshold.
maxValue	Upper threshold.

Returns

uint16_t Constrained value.

dshot3dFormat()

uint16_t dshot3dFormat

(

int16_t

rxCmd

)

Formats values from an iBus receiver for 3D mode.

Parameters

rxCommand

Value from iBus receiver.

Returns

uint16_t Formatted value.

standardRadianFormat()

float standardRadianFormat

(

float

angle

)

Puts a value in standard radian format.

Parameters

angle

Value to be formatted.

Returns

float Formatted value.

stringToFloat()

float stringToFloat

(

const char *

p

)

Simple and fast atof (ascii to float) function.

Executes about 5x faster than standard MSCRT library atof()
-An attractive alternative if the number of calls is in the millions.
-Assumes input is a proper integer, fraction, or scientific format.
-Matches library atof() to 15 digits (except at extreme exponents).
-Follows atof() precedent of essentially no error checking.

Parameters

*p	Pointer to string.

Returns

float Converted float value.
