(...) Please don't take my post as a criticism of the original firmware, I merely wanted to point out alternatives. I agree, the 3ms sample rate is more than adequate for most applications. (...) Yes, the RCX is rugged in many respects, but I think (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

(...) By contrast, BrickOS continuously samples each sensor at a rate of about 6.7 samples per millisecond. This is 20 times more often than the standard firmware. It's no wonder it's more accurate at higher rotation rates. Of course, it also (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
