| | | | (...) Yes. It is important to realise, that the RCX, does not perhaps do the interpretation in the way you think. In each 'loop', it executes one instruction from each of the possible threads, and also reads the A-D's, on each sensor, and updates to (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

The 'loop' time, can be measured very easily with a scope, by setting a motor (...) (25 years ago, 3-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
