So I was thinking about writing a motor driver that is better than what is in the ROM already. Here's the problem: You have a function called once every 1/1000th of a second. You want to allow n speeds of the motor at minimal cost in lookup tables. (...) (26 years ago, 19-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Funny - I was thinking of doing exactly the same thing - and also basing it on Bresenham. I've always wondered about 1-bit D/A, but if you actually read the docco it is wrapped up in so much weird signal theory it is very hard to understand (...)

(...) In fact, I'm using exactly this algorithm to drive the motors for my laser scanner - though the host platform is an embedded PC, not the RCX. I'm currently rewriting the motor drivers to: * keep an 1ms resolution system clock * call the task (...) (26 years ago, 19-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
