Crankshaft rotation versus stroke Formula

Does anyone have the formula to calculate crankshaft rotation in degrees versus stroke position? I have all of the stroke and rod length information.

Thanks.
 
See if this link opens, for a sheet that I slapped together showing piston position, velocity, and accn, versus crank angle (w*t), for cases with and without crankshaft and piston pin offset.


the simple case, w/o pin offset or crank offset, is:

y.piston = a*cos(theta)+sqrt[r^2 - a^2*sin(theta)^2]
where "a" is the crank throw, and "r" is the conrod length. "Theta" is the crank angle from TDC.
