Hi Chuck.. I like your circuit. You charge up to a fixed voltage and discharge exponentially through a resistor. You measure the time to the point where the...
Randy, ... Ah, but there is a multitasker, it is just hidden from the programmer by the OS/language processor/kernel or whatever you call it. ... Are you...
... This misses the point. The code generated living in the IsoMax(TM) paradigm has no backwards branches. As a result, all FSM's are short "run to completion"...
... I assume you mean that they all run in some loop, so how do these threads maintain state between runs? ... The key word in that sentance is "schedules",...
Hi Randy, ... Best possible - probably not, maybe even not the best possible today. But it is definitely the one that seems to be the most prevalent, at least...
Well, I will learn ISOMax. When I have learned it, I will add it to my toolbox. When a task is before me, I attempt to apply the correct tool to do the job...
Ed Okerson said: Friday, June 01, 2007 3:04 PM ... Each state machine when created by the language gets an execution vector. This vector is essentially a...
... OK, so you have a list of function pointers that get called in succession, what happens at the end of each function? Does it know the address of the next...
Doug Bell wrote ... Sure. But he's using an analogue MUX which, I think, means that he could use the same "upper" resistors for all of the sensors. Here's what...
... That is indeed the circuit I described but I didn't claim that it was logarithmic. The response doesn't have to be exactly logarithmic. All that is...
hello everybody in seattlerobotics. I have just finished myself fire fighting robot. but I have one problem. that is, i don`t know how to make robot back to...
Ed Okerson said: Friday, June 01, 2007 10:23 PM ... We have a list that is a machine chain. It is (currently) implemented just as a Forth word would be,...
Randy, your machine chain "scheduler" sounds very much like what I have written as a C library for my dsPIC projects. There is an interrupt that runs a list...
Dave Hylands said: Friday, June 01, 2007 3:48 PM ... True, so it seems. It's OT, but to meantion an original prediction I am fond of: I expect a huge future...
don clay said: Friday, June 01, 2007 4:19 PM ... Yes true and well said. I don't think I'd like to do a big video or vision processing routine in IsoMax(TM)...
... And how is this different from C? C functions in exactly the same way, when you return from a function execution continues on the line after the function...
... C, in and of itself, is not terse. C programmers are. You can use variable and function names as long as you like, they only require more keystrokes to...
Ed Okerson replied: Sunday, June 03, 2007 6:59 PM ... Yes, the same. ... Correct. Not that they aren't there, but that they are required not to be used on...

Wu Yulu, a struggling farmer and father of two, would not be regarded by most people as a success story. At 42 years of age he has destroyed his family home,...
Ed Okerson reported: Sunday, June 03, 2007 10:14 PM ... Yes, I think you're right Ed. I also wonder if C didn't succeed because it was lower case. Less care...

Hi Randy, ... Huh? I don't see how busy-waiting has anything to do with Structured Programming. ... I also don't the argument for forward branches or backwards...
Cool! I've used Murata gyros for some balancing applications, very nice stuff, 2 axis, temperature compensated, shock resistant, etc. Since it appears that the...
