[tGarden-dev] help re slow, repeated values

[Sha X. W. <xi...@mi...>]

hi, greetings from atlanta!

joel i and some students are playng with our version of tg here.

it seems that the data coming into oz from one of our wearable 
assembly is too stepped:  as we rotate the sensor slowly, the data 
does not change smoothly with the sensor, but instead jumps at 
approximately  1 second intervals to successive values.   i have to 
look more carefully at the std out from  operate on the ipaq, but it 
could be that

(1) the data stream is interrupted somewhere on the 
accelerometer-pic-ipaq chain,
and
(2)  some code (in the ipaq?) is repeating fossil data  (which would 
be wrong!  -- we want sensor to push data)


Q1.	i recall that the data acquisition and rebroadcast code (on 
ipaq) was built to poll at a regular cloack rate.   where is that 
rate set, and what was it?

Q2.	what could possibly affect this slow, delayed episodic 
response to changes in the sensor ?

we put every mac on a hub disconncetd from the ambient net, so they 
see only one another.  the only difference is that i'n using an 
Airport base station to send data htough it's tittanium.

and

Q3.	what can we do to speed up the frequency?

please help, any suggesions?

Thanks !
