Anyone needs an algorithm to calculate the square-root of a float value, now has a solution.
I have posted an article with C# source and some infos.

Biggest fault of Netduino? It runs by electricity.

I find myself wondering (not really seriously) if your application and the Netduino would benefit from the fast inverse square root algorithm (aka the Quake III Hack). If so, maybe we could make it available as a firmware modAnyone needs an algorithm to calculate the square-root of a float value, now has a solution.

I read there was an algorithm based on the IEEE representation of the float, but I wasn't able to convert the C# float to an integer. That is another serious leak of the available framework.
My article was a pure C# solution offered to substitute the (only) one present in Grommet.
Of sure will be replaced with something better in case of native libraries.
Thanks anyway.
