Calculating Bearing and Distance to a Latitude Longitude Waypoint with AVR Atmega C
This post will show how to calculate bearing and distance to a latitude longitude waypoint using C on an Amtel AVR microcontroller. Deathpod3000 uses the formulas I gave in the last post, but with minor changes to adapt to C on the AVR. The code should be easy to adapt to other microcontrollers like PIC, [...]
How to Calculate Distance and Bearing to a Latitude Longitude Waypoint in Excel
In testing code for Deathpod3000, I found it very valuable to have a quick and easy way to calculate correct distance and bearing to a latitude longitude waypoint to compare to results I was getting from my Atmega32 C code. In this article, I will explain a little about the formulas, show them working in [...]
