💖 DIV2(9) — the div2 HAL component 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the div2 page of the HAL Component manual. yes it's division. no it's not scary. let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

div2 — literally just the quotient of two floating point inputs 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

loadrt div2 [count=N|names=name1[,name2...]]

that's it. that's the whole load line. iconic 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so this is a very simple comp, and its whole personality is: divide one floating point number by another floating point number, and hand you back a floating point result. that's the job. that's the whole job. 👑

Remember, not to use a zero divisor. fr fr. a zero divisor creates an indefinite result — like, undefined-behaviour levels of not it 💀 there's no vibe to be saved there. this is simple mathematics, bestie, and simple mathematics will humble you.

🔥 FUNCTIONS 🔥

  • div2.N — requires a floating-point thread ⚠️ like, don't try to slot this into a non-float thread, it will simply not be the moment.

🦋 PINS 🦋

  • div2.N.in0 float in — the Dividend 💖 (the number getting divided, the main character)
  • div2.N.in1 float in — the Divisor 🌈 (the number doing the dividing)
  • div2.N.out float out — the Quotient ✨ and the math is literally out = in0 / in1

💜 PARAMETERS 💜

  • div2.N.deadband float rw — the out will be zero if in is between -deadband and +deadband 🎀 (yes it's a little comfort zone for your output, and yes you can read and write it — that's the rw)
