Actually my goal was initially to reduce size and overhead but I when I decided to add proportional timeslicing the goal changed. (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | | | I have found that using proportional timeslicing works great in many situations. It is more forgiving for new developers, since a "runaway" process will not block processes of lower priority. (runaway process used here to mean a process which never (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I believe the sensor handling issue is a real issue. However, I have yet to see a simple solution that (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | | | | | | | I have been thinking (and toying with some ideas) concerning tthe wakeup checking. It might be possible to do wakeup checking more often then between each timeslice. This would make msleep more accurate and provide better sensor handling. I know (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
