Hi Gunther,

maybe someone can explain to me why the current brickOS release seems to • have
msleep()-amnesia ;-)

I'm NOT really an expert in brickOS, but these are the sources of delay and
msleep:

void delay(unsigned ms)
{
  unsigned i;
  while (ms-- > 0)
    for (i = 0; i < 600; i++) // not well calibrated.
      ;
}

//! delay execution allowing other tasks to run.
/*! \param msec sleep duration in milliseconds
    \return number of milliseconds left if interrupted, else 0.
*/
unsigned int msleep(unsigned int msec)
{
#if defined(CONF_TIME) && defined(CONF_TM)
  if (wait_event(&tm_sleep_wakeup, get_system_up_time() +
MSECS_TO_TICKS(msec)) == 0)
    return (MSECS_TO_TICKS(msec) - get_system_up_time());
#else
  delay(msec);
#endif
  return 0;
}

msleep() doesn't seem to have any influence on the motor output anymore.
Maybe msleep is exiting later (or sooner?) than expected, you can check its
return value for this event.

Regards, Guido

Hello out there, maybe someone can explain to me why the current brickOS release seems to have msleep()-amnesia ;-) We've been testing the data transfer to our Lepomux device. For some strange reason we were still using kernel 0.2.6.07nmChg with a (...) (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
