A Latitude Within a Degree, and I Still Don't Trust It

Foucault Pendulum Building and Latitude Measurement

I finished the pendulum, ran it all night, and read my latitude off it — within a degree. Now I can't decide if I measured the planet or just my own crooked brasswork.

CORDIC algorithm 🔗 Foucault Pendulum Building and Latitude Measurement

A Foucault pendulum's drift rate is 15°·sin(latitude) per hour — so I needed a sine. CORDIC gets one with no multiplier at all.

🎮 Precession Build and tune a Foucault pendulum, then pump it at each turning point to keep its swing plane sweeping through twelve brass pegs as the Earth turns beneath it.
