| | Accurate Timing
|
|
Hello! I just started using brickOS and am trying to use it as a programmable function generator. As such, I'm trying to get good repeatability on cycle time. It appears that at 'random' times, the RCX scheduler(?) is interrupting my program to do (...) (22 years ago, 28-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

When I try to download a .lx file into the RCX, dll hangs. The LED (...) (22 years ago, 13-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
