  Re: I2C device for the RCX
 
(...) I think it will - as long as you put the sensor handler on timer B (the motor handler probably can stay there too). Take a close look at _ds_handler inside the file dsensor.c. That's where all the active/passive switching and sensor readout is (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: I2C device for the RCX
 
Before starting the hacking,I did some tests whit this 'for-lus-delay', and I found the results better than expected. I found that this: for(long i=0;i<100000;i++); takes about 120ms, so one for lus takes 0.0012ms. I made a test program which first (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Nope, I didn't. Mixed up the packages/sec and bits/sec. It should be 6360Hz. Sounds even more faster (-: (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: I2C device for the RCX
 
ARGH!!!...!!! i'm getting nuts of all these numbers! Now it appears that my stopwatch didn't give the time in steps from 1 ms, but in steps from 10 ms so then the program takes 3750ms, which means 70,6 packages per second. the RCX has send 1 adress (...)

  Re: I2C device for the RCX
 
(...) Lepomux works with a serial protocol (5 bit preamble, 8 bit data, parity) based on a halfbit-clockspeed of 1 kHz. So compared to your I2C-driver it is dead slow (about 33ms/byte = 30 bytes/s). This slow speed has two reasons: - it's possible (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: I2C device for the RCX
 
(...) Well, one reason for this is that I2C doesn't need a precise clocksignal (thanks to Dick Swan for telling me, I totally forgot about it). All the timer stuff shouldn't matter for the I2C device, so there should be even higher speeds possible, (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) We'll first check it out before boasting about it ;) The whole thing won't work without some hardware modifications on the lepomux - so I'll tell you about it in two or three weeks. Gunther (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) ... took slightly longer than 2 weeks, but now it works as expected. Using BrickOS you'll get up to 100 byte/s without any patch. I've put a protocol description on www.lepomux.org. Gunther (22 years ago, 1-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics)
