Re: Java Threads

We ran a neat little experiment (at least to me) to understand how the underlying threads were being executed.

Set the motor speed to one value- and then immediately set it to another value.

What we ended up with is a 'pulse' - sometimes it would hold continuous values... othertimes it would slow/speed up.

I had hoped it would help drive some points in with the programmers.
