OK, so if Current.theta is an unsigned int, and I'm setting it equal to an unsigned long, what bits will I lose in the process? the most significant 8?
for example, what if I had this:

unsigned long longvar = 0xFAAABBBB;
unsigned int shortvar = 0;
shortvar = longvar;

shortvar would be 0xBBBB, right?

and a second question about that, am I getting an overflow error because the pic does math on an int level, and when an operation goes higher than an int I get an overflow error?

Thanks for all your help so far.
