Re: Delayed Red Light of Death

I've seen this happen to a team that was pushing the limit on fitting their processing within the duration of the 26ms of the slow loop.

They were dropping every other radio packet which wasn't quite enough to fail, but eventually if they ran for a long enough period of time they finally dropped several packets in a row triggering the RLOD.

If it's that it's pretty obvious if you time the duration of your loop.
