By standard firmware, I assume you mean using the byte codes ala NQC or
something similar.  If you only want semi-precise timing, you can use the
wait opcode to delay for approximately 100 ms between sensor samples.  If
you want something more accurate, you can make use of a 1 ms timer to get a
better measurement of the actual delay incurred, or you can combine the
wait opcode with busy waiting on a timer to make the delay exactly 100 ms.

  I though that the four "Timer()" values read out in 100ms increments only.
Is there a way to get a 1ms timer with NQC?

thanks,

(...) You are right, the timer values as seen by the firmware are in 1/10ths of a second. I lost myself in H8-land, which has a 1 ms timer that gets divided down before being seen by the firmware. -Kekoa (26 years ago, 25-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics)
