WebbotLib timer skipping count?

[Admin]

I'm using WebbotLib v1.5 on an Axon.

The timer isn't outputting correct values. What I mean is, clockGetus() is disagreeing with delay_ms() . . .

For example, I tell it to delay_ms() for 60 seconds, then output the final time. Code below.

My guess is that its some kind of rounding error in the lib that just keeps adding up . . .

The results:
delay_ms()    clockGetus()
10000          10238
30000          30716
45000          46075
61000          62457

Its like an additional 238ms are being added every 10 seconds!

Code: [Select]

start_freq = clockGetus();

delay_ms(60000);//input time in ms

end_freq = clockGetus();

duration_freq=(end_freq-start_freq);

rprintf("\n s: %ld\n",duration_freq/1000);

Is this using the last 1.5 official release or with the unfficial 1.5a release I emaied to you for testing/playing with servo judder?

1.5 official release.
(I was quick to downgrade after that 1.5a failure, hehe )

Thanks for your v1.5b.

It works! I told it to delay 45ms, and it outputted exactly 45000.

Also, it mostly fixed the servo twitching problem. It still happens, but its significantly reduced.

It doesn't seem to have broken anything, but then again I haven't tried the scheduler yet.

I believe you have a new release ready to ship

I hooked it up to an oscope today with an Axon.

It was accurate to the oscope within 0.58% of real time. Pretty darn good! I didn't try multiple Axons, but I'm sure they are all close.
