All of you that have been helping to test pbLua.... I have released another Beta of pbLua - and it's got FLASH writing (and reading) goodness in it. (URL) It does not yet have the ability to boot from a string in FLASH but it's very close. The (...) (17 years ago, 12-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) The 15 ms that John reported is the time it takes for a sound pulse to travel 500 mm, the round trip distance at the maximum advertised range of the US sensor. An interesting coincidence? Roger Glassey (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Original Thread title was "Re: Ooops! NXT Software Comparison correction / I2C Messaging Speed". I've renamed as worth a separate thread. (...) You're right!! 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)

In a typical operating system (OS), tasks are scheduled on a priority basis. The highest priority task always executes ahead of lower priority tasks. If there are multiple tasks at the highest priority, then they are typically executed in a round (...) (17 years ago, 6-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) After tuning, NBC achieved 73K test cycles. It achieved these great results by setting the task "priority" to 200. Unfortunately, unless the NXT-G task scheduler has been rewritten, these results might be a little too high. A NXT-G task (or (...) (17 years ago, 6-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
