Homework Statement
i have an 8 bit input, and i need to represent 0-359 in decimal on 3 7-seg displays
The Attempt at a Solution
with 8 bits there is only 256 possibilities so the input would have to be multiplied by 1.4 to get an even spread over 259 degrees.
but you can't multiply a binary number by a floating number and then if you have a result of say 345 how do you represent it with 8 bits.
so i need to find a way to take 8 bits and represent numbers from 0-359. doesn't need to be every degree .
and have to simulate it in multisim so can't use binary rate multipliers.
any ideas? just somehwere to start looking.
