Laser Pointer Rotation Calculator Freeware

The Rotation Calculator is a free shareware, available as an Excel file or a palm version on the P+S Technik website, www.pstechnik.de. Download and use these very handy programs if you intend to work with side offsets for rotation centers. Please feel free to pass these files on to other crew members.
(On the Excel version macros must be enabled for proper operation)

Highlights
- Excel and Palm version
- 2 Modes
- Angle Mode
- Distance Mode
 

All distances are measured from REF. (triangle) mark on the front side of the SKATER Mini to center of desired rotation.

A button can be used to toggle between inch and cm units. Another button allows you to change to “Angle Mode” which is explained in more detail further below. Under “Distance Mode” you will find a help file, telling you how to use this program in detail.

Distance Mode
Providing angles for wheels A, B and C for a given distance in camera direction and optional side offset.
A rotation center in front of the REF. mark should be entered as positive distance, a rotation point behind this mark should be entered as negative distance.
Offsets to the right are entered as positive offsets, to the left as negative offsets.

Angle Mode
Providing the angle of wheel C as well as distances and side offset for given angles on wheel A and B. Use this especially when operating with the optional laser pointer (see below) to get a proper alignment for wheel C.
When using the laserpointer it is often not possible to point at a desired rotation center because the camera might be in the way. It is also more accurate to calculate the third angle of wheel C than to point at it.
If you enter identical values for scale A and B the program will prompt "Parallel" as it is not possible to calculate a value for scale C.
