(...) I agree about the cause for the msleep granularity, I'd seen the same stuff in tm and assumed that would cause the problem. Sorry my last note was a little unclear, I tried msleep and delay but am now using my own function which seems to (...) (23 years ago, 4-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi, I'm part of a university group trying to compile a list of ways that robotics are being used in high school classrooms. If you are a person involved with the use of robotics in high school science, math, and technology courses, and are (...) (23 years ago, 4-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.edu)

(...) Thanks, I'd suspected that msleep might not be very accurate but never considered that it's true granularity could be so large. I did a quick test with my current configuration and when I asked msleep to sleep for 12ms it slept for 20. This (...) (23 years ago, 4-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) No, there's no bridge in the RCX, just a pull-up to 5V (10kOhm IIRC). If you look at the schematics (say at (URL) see that there is another bridge rectifier in the sensor between ground and the raw sensor output. The ground half of the bridge (...) (23 years ago, 4-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) It seems this thing connects to a serial port. So you need a Java interface to the serial port like rcxcomm, and you need to write a few classes that talk to the thing (see (URL) would be nice to have some common abstractions of the RCX (...) (23 years ago, 3-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Don't ask me for a cite, but I seem to remember something about msleep only having 20ms granularity. If that's the case, your msleep(10) is either not sleeping at all or is sleeping 20ms, either one of which could cause problems. I'd suggest (...)

(...) My guess (having never looked at the schematics, or taken one apart) is that when connected backwards, "dark" would be 0V and "light" would be -8V. Again, a simple bridge rectifier (this time in the RCX) would get it sorted out. It might be (...) (23 years ago, 4-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics)
