What is the formula to convert from Binary Degrees to Compass Points?

The formula to convert angle value from the unit of Binary Degrees to the unit of Compass Points is:

Angle_{(Compass Points)} = Angle_{(Binary Degrees)} / 8

Binary Degrees unit in Angle

Binary degrees are a unit of angular measurement used in certain digital and computational applications, where a full circle is divided into 256 equal parts. Each binary degree represents a small fraction of a complete rotation, making this unit particularly useful in digital systems that require precise angular calculations, such as in computer graphics and robotics.

Compass Points unit in Angle

Compass points are a unit of angular measurement based on the traditional 32-point compass rose, where the full circle is divided into 32 equal parts. Each compass point represents 11.25 degrees. Compass points are primarily used in navigation and meteorology to describe directions and wind headings with precision.
