| | | OK, so I had forgotten that for whatever reason legOS rotation sensors are very, very sensitive to dying batteries. I think that when underpowered, they either don't generate an interrupt or the voltage on the interrupt is too weak and the signal (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | | | | (...) Actually, the sensors themselves don't generate an interrupt. The interrupt to read the sensors is from a timer, and it just cycles through the sensors waiting to read the next one. This may be related to the problem Kekoa mentioned about (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | | | | | (...) Powering them more frequently but for a shorter time, you mean? Yes- I do see your point. This will be something to keep track of when/if we mess with the sensors in 0.2.x. BTW, in hindsight, this should have been obvious- the reason that the (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

When I released patched sensors routines, I've tested the sensor values (expecially rotation one) with batteries full and with very exausted batteries, but never with exausted batteries and motors (...)

| | | | (...) Ahhh, this is a hint why it shows up now. The additional delay in the dsensor code shifts the duty cycle of the sensor down just a little bit, so it can't operate anymore. This will all be fixed with the new code in 0.2.5. I will get myself (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
