(...) I'd guess it depends on what you are doing. Without a doubt, raw gives you the best sensor resolution. I'd guess that for kids it is easier to think in terms of 0 to 100%. Since you are not a kid, raw is probably better. (...) Kevin (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi, I've again found a way to solve this problem: Sometimes you have to replace the OS root "\brickos" with "c:\cygwin\brickos". Sometimes it works just with "\brickos". I don't know why.
