How to map 360 degree angle over 1024 counts

[scidam]

I didn't work with raspberry pi and embedded
python, but I suspect that PIN_DAT = [3,14] should be PIN_DAT = [3.14], if 3,14 stands for pi here...?!

def deg2count(angle, maxcount=1023):
    """ 0 <= angle <= 360 """
    return int(angle / 360.0 * maxcount)

def count2deg(count, maxcount=1023):
    return int(count / maxcount * 360)

Since your code includes series of numbers 3,1,4 (pi approx 3.14), I suspect that
angles should be given in radians; in this case my code should be changed, e.g. 360 must be replaced with, e.g. 3.1415 * 2.
