How Many Iterations?

[masoug]

Hi,
How many iterations per second does "Iterative Robot" method do for periodic functions?
Are they constant? Or are they variable?

THANKS!!!

By default the period is whenever a packet is recieved from the DS (about 50 Hz according to the source).

To define your own period, call SetPeriod(double seconds). FYI this is a minimum. If the code is taking longer than the period to execute, it will wait for the code to finish. Also, call SetPeriod(0.0) to reset it to DS packets.

For # of loops per second, call GetLoopsPerSec() (warning: it doesn't check for the special 0.0 value that signals DS packet sync. It will try to divide by zero if you call it when in DS sync mode)

Coll thanks! But:

do we have to include additional header files and etc?

Nothing extra is needed. Those functions are inherited with the IterativeRobot class
