Revolutions unit

[bluesillybeard2 bczhefgthspswd]

Add a angle unit for revolutions, equal to 2pi radians or 180 degrees.

Can you post an example of the issue?

[bluesillybeard2 bczhefgthspswd]

degrees and radians can be converted between by typing smething like “pi radian in degree”
I’m thinking of being able to do something like “.5 revolution in degree”
A lot of things use revolutions rather than other units. rpm for example. But often times it’s useful to convert that to degrees or radians, especially when using trigonometric functions,

For units conversions, you can define the "revolution" user variable to that end:

revolution = 2 pi radian
= 6.28318530717958647693

.5 revolution in degree
= 180 (degree)

.5 revolution in radian
= 3.14159265358979323846 radian

90 degree in revolution
= 0.25 revolution

3pi/2 radian in revolution
= 0.75 revolution

That’s a pretty decent solution - would be nice if it was already a unit when first installed though. Thanks!

This issue helped me a lot, as I didn’t know the units system in SpeedCrunch (even looked into menus for it, but not the Help Guide).

In turn, I looked around for this new unit mentioned here, and it looks it’s similar/same as turns, or tr: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_(angle)
