Math to Compass Frame Conversions
All angles are expressed in degrees.
To convert apparent bearing to the transmitter in Math coordinates to Compass coordinates, use:
[Compass] Bearing = – [Math] Azimuth
To convert true bearing to the transmitter in Math coordinates to Compass coordinates, use:
If transducer is pointed down: [Compass] Bearing = 90 – [Math] Azimuth
If transducer is pointed up: [Compass] Bearing = 90 + [Math] Azimuth
To convert world-referenced [Math] Yaw to [Compass] Heading, use:
If transducer is pointed down: [Compass] Heading = 90 – [Math] Yaw
If transducer is pointed up: [Compass] Heading = 90 + [Math] Yaw
These conversions are done internally in the receiver and both results are included in the update message as a convenience.
