Re: Programming - Getting Started

>> 3. Autonomous mode is not hard, you just need to think about it. Remember, there is a 40ms clock in the RC, so 1 second = 26.2ms. This would be a good time for a calculator.

Maybe it should read 40MHZ clock in the RC.
There is a 26.2ms sample time in the outer/main loop where you get new input from the operator station so in 1 second that is 40hz, i.e. 40 samples per second (actually is 28.167...hz, but 40hz is probably close enough)? Not really sure what the intent was, I'm having trouble parsing the line.
