Is anyone familiar enough with Microchip's line of processors to speculate whether or not the new Robot Controller will allow us to sample the system clock for timing purposes?
If you can not use the clock like in the current PBASIC Controllers, I would consider the whole upgrade a failure. If I have to count program iterations and change my timing constants every time I update the program with this new processor, then Innovation First is incompetent. It has interrupts and the highest priority interrupt is the system timer (just like in your PC). Can someone please tell me that I will not need to build a separate circuit for a simple crystal?
