What are the (u16) casts for?
This code is actually called exactly once with max == 100.
The .i and .q are the sine and cosine << 16 (signed).
The CORDIC_FLOAT() is basically >> 16 (not 15) so the result should
be between -100 and +100.
The & 0xFF is there to strip the sign.
The sin+cos are then packed into a short[] then unpacked to be
written to the hardware later.

Don't open the bag of worms that contains the above :-)
