I've been working with an AT32UC3C1512C microcontroller using the ADC to read four values from a PSD. I then want to apply an equation to the four digital outputs to obtain a position, but it involves dividing some of these outputs. Here I have run into a bit of a wall. Just using plain division (/) won't work because it doesn't give me the correct value when I pass it through the DAC and read it out. Therefore I tried to look at some digital division algorithms, but that would involve the use of assembly, and I'm not sure how to integrate this with a 32 bit microcontroller. I found an application note from Atmel on how to combine assembler and C, but I can't find the example code which the whole note is based on, and so it doesn't help at all. Does anyone know how to get around this?
Maybe it is easier to multiply by 1/X than to divide by X... Otherwise if the division doesn't work, your setup may be broken...
