Degrees to radians

Function: Degrees to radians​

This action converts an angle measured in degrees into its equivalent value in radians. Radians are another unit for measuring angles, often used in mathematical and scientific calculations.

Input

  • Degrees: The number representing the angle in degrees that you want to convert. This must be a number.

Output

  • Result: The calculated angle value in radians. This will be a number. By default, this output will be stored in a variable named RESULT, but you can choose a different name for your variable.

Execution Flow

Real-Life Examples

Example 1: Converting a right angle​

Imagine you have a right angle (90 degrees) and you need its radian equivalent for a calculation.

  • Inputs:
    • Degrees: 90
  • Result: The action calculates 90 * \(PI / 180\) which is approximately 1.5708. This value is stored in the RESULT variable.

Example 2: Adjusting a sensor reading​

Suppose you have a sensor that provides an angle reading in degrees, and you need to use this angle in a formula that requires radians. You've stored the sensor reading in a variable called sensorAngleDegrees.

  • Inputs:
    • Degrees: sensorAngleDegrees (let's say its value is 45)
  • Result: The action converts 45 degrees to approximately 0.7854 radians. This value is stored in the RESULT variable (or a variable you specify, like sensorAngleRadians).

Example 3: Converting a full circle​

You want to know the radian equivalent of a full circle (360 degrees).

  • Inputs:
    • Degrees: 360
  • Result: The action calculates 360 * \(PI / 180\) which is approximately 6.2832 (or 2 * PI). This value is stored in the RESULT variable.
