I need a C algorithm that solves the shortest distance to a carousel tool (encoder wraps at 0). I can solve the distance from the current to the target tool with three tests, CW distance CCW distance, then test for the shortest, but it seems I should be able to do this in one test. I suspect the solution is so simple, I'll slap my forehead when I see it. Thanks.
