Joe,
That's definitely an improvement! So, that would be a
250 Hz sample rate for any given sensor. I just tried a
modification similar to yours that did all 4 conversions
every OCRA/B interrupt (or 1 KHz sample rate) and got:
IDLE: 82
2ROT: 77
NOAD: 93
NIRQ: 98
This sample rate should be more than enough for most
applications. If someone needs a higher sample rate, then
there could be a system call to enable faster sampling.
Looking at the code in sys_time.c, it seems possible
that the OCRB interrupt could be consolidated with the
OCRA interrupt, freeing the OCRB interrupt to be
used for sample rates > 1 KHz.

| (...) Timer B is usually unused but has a lower priority than Timer A. If you do a lot of stuff in the timer A routine, this will block timer B interrupts (especially if timer B generates more interrupts than timer A). The mean thing is that those (...)

| Mark, I retrieved the latest BrickOS from CVS, made clean and made the cpu test program you listed. I then made two small changes (to see what would happen); first the results, then the changes: IDLE: 89 2ROT: 87 NOAD: 91 (see below) NIRQ: 98 (see (...)
