Post by thread:Chaos/Random generator ?

Hello, does anyone have a pointer to a piece of code which would generate a chaotic or random output ? Bye Markus

Regarding a random number generator for a pic you may wish to try the following algorithm. It is not truely random but it will produce what at least looks random. Take an 8 bit array with bit 7=msb and bit 0=lsb. 1) Assign a variable bit1=array(0) .xor. array(1) 2) Assign a variable bit2=array(6) .xor. array(7) 3) Assign a variable bit3=bit1 .xor. bit2 4) Rotate the array one to the right. 5) Assign array(7)=bit3 6) Goto 1 This algorithm requires an initial seed located in array. The output of the random number generator will be in array. Bob
