calculatorsFloor and Ceiling Functions
Floor and Ceiling Functions
The floor and ceiling functions give us the nearest
up or down.
Example: What is the floor and ceiling of 2.31?
The Floor of 2.31 is
The Ceiling of 2.31 is 3
Floor and Ceiling of Integers
What if we want the floor or ceiling of a number that is already an integer?
That's easy: no change!
Example: What is the floor and ceiling of 5?
The Floor of 5 is 5
The Ceiling of 5 is 5
Here are some example values for you:
The symbols for floor and ceiling are like the square brackets [ ] with the top or bottom part missing:
But I prefer
to use the word form: floor(x) and ceil(x)
Definitions
How do we give this a formal definition?
Example: How do we define the floor of 2.31?
Well, it has to be an integer ...
... and it has to
be less than (or maybe equal to) 2.31, right?
2 is less than 2.31 ...
but 1 is also less than 2.31,
and so is 0, and -1, -2, -3, etc.
Oh no! There are lots of integers less than 2.31.
So which one do we choose?
Choose the greatest one (which is 2 in this case)
So we get:
The greatest integer that is
(or equal to) 2.31 is 2
Which leads to our definition:
Floor Function: the greatest integer that is less than or equal to x
Likewise for Ceiling:
Ceiling Function: the least integer that is greater than or equal to x
As A Graph
The Floor Function is this curious &step& function (like an infinite staircase):
The Floor Function
A solid dot means &including& and an open dot means &not including&.
Example: at x=2 we meet:
an open dot at y=1 (so it does not include x=2),
and a solid dot at y=2 (which does include x=2)
so the answer is y=2
And this is the Ceiling Function:
The Ceiling Function
The &Int& Function
The &Int& function (short for &integer&) is like the &Floor& function, BUT some calculators and computer programs show different results when given negative numbers:
Some say int(&3.65) = &4 (the same as the Floor function)
Others say int(&3.65) = &3 (the
neighbouring integer closest to zero, or &just throw away the .65&)
So be careful with this function!
The &Frac& Function
With the Floor Function, we &throw away& the fractional part. That part is called the &frac& or &fractional part& function:
frac(x) = x & floor(x)
It looks like a sawtooth:
The Frac Function
Example: what is frac(3.65)?
frac(x) = x & floor(x)
So: frac(3.65) = 3.65 & floor(3.65) = 3.65 & 3 = 0.65
Example: what is frac(&3.65)?
frac(x) = x & floor(x)
So: frac(&3.65) = (&3.65) & floor(&3.65) = (&3.65) & (&4) = &3.65 + 4 = 0.35
BUT many calculators and computer programs
use frac(x) = x & int(x), and so their result depends on how they calculate int(x):
Some say frac(&3.65) = 0.35
i.e &3.65 & (&4)
Others say frac(&3.65) = &0.65
i.e. &3.65 & (&3)
So be careful using this function with negative values.

Firmware updates
last updated
about 9 months ago
The problem:
Microchip bought Roving networks and the FTP server your modules firmware is trying to reach no longer exists. We have a procedure to fix this this though.
First, reset your module to the factory defaults:
factory RESET
Now connect to your Wlan:
set wlan ssid *your SSID*
set wlan passphrase *your WiFi password*
Now re-connect to your wlan and configure the new FTP settings: (We had to try the update twice to get it to work)
set ftp address 0
set dns backup rn.microchip.com
You should see something like this:
&2.31> ftp update &2.31> FTP connecting to 198.175.253.161 FTP file=34 ………………………………………………………….. FTP OK. UPDATE OK
factory RESET
At this point you will need to re-enter your SSID and pass phrase and re connect to your wlan. After you’ve done that, try pinging google to make sure you’re live.
ping dgoogle.com 4
(you have to add the “d” to the beginning of the hostname in order for the module to do a DNS lookup.) You should see something like this:
Ping try (len=32) 74.125.225.192 &4.41> PING reply from 74.125.225.192 PING reply from 74.125.225.192 PING reply from 74.125.225.192 PING reply from 74.125.225.192
That should get you going!

Better options available.

If you&re trying to replace an XBee-based solution - or you already have all of the XBee support hardware you want - this is a pretty solid option.
It is not 5V tolerant, and the sensor lines are only rated for 1.5V, so it&s not necessarily trivial to add this in to an existing project.
The onboard configuration options are great - the v4 firmware is possibly useful without another microcontroller for certain logging applications. Getting it on to local WiFi is pretty easy.
There&s no SSL/HTTPS support and I can&t find a firmware SDK.
Client mode worked really well, but using it as a server suffered from a few issues - sockets had to time out to close, drastically lowering throughput.
Well documented, great performance

I was astounded at the quality of this module for how cheap it is. The documentation is flawless, and I had no issues setting this up for my exact needs. It also performed incredibly well, even in a noisy PLC lab at my school where I was doing an industry project my robot was able to drive out the door, down the hallway, and into the grounds. If you need a cheap easy to use wifi module that will perform well, you can&t do much better than this

Best WI FI they cover all my needs
Mixed happiness

If this device is used through an existing WIFI router, it works very well. Communications is fast and reliable. On the other hand, if this device is used as an access point it generally does not work. Windows 7 PCs can connect to it, but the firmware will report CRASH and then reboot as soon as an attempt to send data occurs. Numerous reports of this are posted on the Internet, so this is not a problem that only I have observed. Microchip bought out Roving Networks, and does not actually seem interested in fixing this problem.

Sorry to hear about this issue. I wish there was more we could do to help.
LEDs too bright!

I&m using this with the LPC1768 mbed on the application board. I&ll suggest increasing the LEDs' resistors from 220 Ohms to 1.5k or even 2.2k.

I have a few of these, mostly used as an alternative to Xbee devices on a sensor network when it&s more convenient to use Wifi. They mostly work as advertised, but about half of them fail to &sleep& which makes them not that useful for battery operated applications. In theory you set up a configuration allowing &set sys sleep N& and the module should go into low power mode drawing &100uA until an event wakes it up (a character interrupt or a pin signal). Normally this works but a few of the modules I&ve tried draw 3-10mA in this state vs &100uA, and they&re too expensive to keep buying new ones until I get one that works. Probably ESP8266 is a better direction to go in now unless you need the specific command set and pinout.

I got a regulator for it so I can run 5 volts on the Io. Im amazed how much it can do. I.e. Build in web configuration. If u like to tinker like me, u will love this.

However, when Trisha died of a lingering illness, they were cared for by their best friend
and her grandmother Pinako. The boys traveled the world to advance their alchemic training under Izumi Curtis. Upon returning home, the two decide to try to bring their mother back to life with alchemy. However, human transmutation is a taboo, as it is impossible to do so properly. In the failed transmutation that results, Al's body is completely obliterated and Ed loses his left leg. In a last ditch attempt to keep his brother alive, Ed sacrifices his right arm to bring Al's soul back and houses it in a nearby suit of armor. After Edward receives automail prosthetics from Winry and Pinako, the brothers decide to burn their childhood home down (symbolizing their determination and decision of "no turning back") and head to the capital city to become government sanctioned State Alchemists. After passing the exam, Edward is dubbed the "Fullmetal Alchemist" by the State Military, and the brothers begin their quest to discover the nature of the fabled , under the direction of Colonel .

The first fourteen episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood received criticism from members of the
staff, who said that repeating events from the first anime led to a lack of suspense. Mania Entertainment's Chris Beveridge said that the entertainment in these episodes lay in the differences in the characters' actions from the first series, and original content which focused on the emotional theme of the series. In another review, Beveridge praised the new fight scenes and said the extra drama which made these episodes "solid". Chris Zimmerman from Comic Book Bin said the series "turns around and establishes its own identity" because of the inclusion of new characters and revelations not shown in the first series, increasing its depth. He said the animation was superior to tha his comments focused on the characters' expressions and the execution of the fight scenes. Writing for , Charles Solomon ranked Brotherhood the second best anime of 2010 on his "Top 10".
Much praise was given to the climactic episodes for the way action scenes and
many reviewers found them superior to the conclusion of the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime. Critics found t Mark Thomas of The Fandom Post called it a "virtually perfect ending to an outstanding series". In April 2010, the journal Animage listed it as the sixth best anime launched between April 2009 and March 2010.
