Looks solid to me, and I appreciate the effort to isolate all the code
with #defines- hopefully, most future feature additions will be similarly
controlled. If no one objects, I'm going to check this into CVS this
afternoon. Thanks a lot, Jochen...

| Hello, For my own project I need to measure the velocity at which my robot is moving. I finally patched the legOS kernel to get accurate values. I think that others may profit from a good velocity sensor. The velocity is given in rotation ticks (...) (24 years ago, 8-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
