function OUTPUT=SpinCalc(CONVERSION,INPUT,tol,ichk)
%Function for the conversion of one rotation input type to desired output.
%Supported conversion input/output types are as follows:
%
1: Q
Rotation Quaternions
%
2: EV
Euler Vector and rotation angle (degrees)
%
3: DCM
Orthogonal DCM Rotation Matrix
%
4: EA###
Euler angles (12 possible sets) (degrees)
%
%Author: John Fuller

%Hampton, VA 23666
%[email protected]
%
%Version 1.3
%June 30th, 2009
%
%Version 1.3 updates
%
SpinCalc now detects when input data is too close to Euler singularity, if user is
choosing
%
Euler angle output. Prohibits output if middle angle is within 0.1 degree of
singularity value.
%~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
%
OUTPUT=SpinCalc(CONVERSION,INPUT,tol,ichk)
%Inputs:
%CONVERSION - Single string value that dictates the type of desired
%
conversion. The conversion strings are listed below.
%
%
'DCMtoEA###' 'DCMtoEV'
'DCMtoQ'
**for cases that involve
%
'EA###toDCM' 'EA###toEV' 'EA###toQ'
euler angles, ### should be
%
'EVtoDCM'
'EVtoEA###' 'EVtoQ'
replaced with the proper
%
'QtoDCM'
'QtoEA###'
'QtoEV'
order desired. EA321 would
%
'EA###toEA###'
be Z(yaw)-Y(pitch)-X(roll).
%
%INPUT - matrix or vector that corresponds to the first entry in the
%
CONVERSION string, formatted as follows:
%
%
DCM - 3x3xN multidimensional matrix which pre-multiplies a coordinate
%
frame column vector to calculate its coordinates in the desired
%
new frame.
%
%
EA### - [psi,theta,phi] (Nx3) row vector list dictating to the first angle
%
rotation (psi), the second (theta), and third (phi) (DEGREES)
%
%
EV - [m1,m2,m3,MU] (Nx4) row vector list dictating the components of euler
%
rotation vector (original coordinate frame) and the Euler
%
rotation angle about that vector (MU) (DEGREES)
%
%
Q - [q1,q2,q3,q4] (Nx4) row vector list defining quaternion of
%
rotation. q4 = cos(MU/2) where MU is Euler rotation angle
%
%tol - tolerance value
%ichk - 0 disables warning flags
%
1 enables warning flags (near singularities)
%**NOTE: N corresponds to multiple orientations
%~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
%Output:
%OUTPUT - matrix or vector corresponding to the second entry in the
%
CONVERSION input string, formatted as shown above.
%~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
%Pre-processer to determine type of conversion from CONVERSION string input
%Types are numbered as follows:
