Bob, I do experience the same thing and taking the average does not work correctly. I compare the "distance" between the values (I have it get three) and throw out the one that is farthest away. Then I take the average of the remaining two. After (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jun-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi, has anyone hacked Mac IC 3.1 to change its baud rate? I'm trying to run a radio RS232 link, and it just can't take the data at 9600 baud. Thanks, George Musser georgejr@musser.com (25 years ago, 28-Jun-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Dear Victor, I'll give you a few hints about what you are trying to do. 1. the "0x" in front of 0x0e is the same as "$" in regular C. It just designates that the number following is in hex format. 2.

It sounds like you are running open loop.
