Experimenting with Lejos, two 'major' problems:
memory (cleaning up platform & lang: Math.class
is huge!) and... threads.
I have the impression my "try { sleep(nnn) }" takes
a somewhat arbitrary time. It's 'at least' nnn milisec,
but often much longer (particularly when sensorthread
has a lot of work, it seems). Is this 'standard' Java
behaviour? (not really into real-time programming)
It becomes very difficult to have a timed 'small
turn left' routine. Sometimes it turns a bit (as I want),
sometimes it makes a 180°. And no, I can't miss a rotation
sensor on this one (already 'overloading' sensors with light+touch etc)
I'm not expecting 100% precision, but this is not even close...
It seems a bit akward to go about and "implement" a
low-level sleep?! ( slicing sleep into 10ms and verify
system clock?)
Is thread-priority the problem here? (not clear if
higest-priority threads really 'yields()')
Any suggestions?
Thnx,
Bart

| Hi Bart, (...) if you mean LISTENER_THREAD then that sounds plausible. (...) Yes, LISTENER_THREAD has maximum priority, so it runs before any threads of lower priority, even yield doesn't help. (...) Yes, I think we'll have to fix that somehow. (...) (23 years ago, 6-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
