Adding another multiply to an ARM program costs ... calculates furiously ... $0.00. I'm contemplating designing an LVDT/synchro/resolver simulator. The sensible way seems to be to digitize the excitation voltage and make the various winding voltages with DACs, and do all the rest in a uP or FPGA. John

I have some brushless servo motors with resolver feedback, I'm hoping to use someday in a CNC project. RogerN

They used to have a "Synchro/Resolver Handbook" iirc.
