Sine wave

float uz_wavegen_sine(float amplitude, float frequency_Hz)

Outputs one sample of a sine wave for the current global system time at each function call.

Parameters:

  • amplitude – Amplitude for the sine wave

  • frequency_Hz – Frequency for the sine wave in Hz. Only positive values are permitted

Returns:

Returns one sample for current system time

Description

This function calculates a sine wave with \(y=sin(2 \pi f \cdot t)\) where \(t\) is the global system time.
