| | | (...) The errors that occur are that the sensor does not properly report variable distances as it is positioned at varying distances from an obstacle. If you slow down the read rate then it works correctly (i.e., with a wait of ~15 ms between read (...) (17 years ago, 5-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Or from my standpoint (a physicist), it's a fundemental limitation of the physics of sound, not a limitation that has (...) (17 years ago, 5-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Let's not mislabel good modern programming practice -- i.e. hardware device drivers integrated into the low-level firmware -- as (...) (17 years ago, 6-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Several other pieces of software have an "optimized" version of code, and it makes sense to do the same for NBC. Steve (17 years ago, 6-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

If you poll the sensor too fast, it definitely reports wrong distances. I'm doing some (...) (17 years ago, 7-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
