Timing after compile

[maffoo]

Hi,

I make animatronics, and I control them, using Visual Basic, however, I am a bit of an amateur when it comes to programming...

I am having problems, I need accurate timing, to control my I/O outputs in time with my sound playback, which is ok while running in the VB environment, but as soon as I complile, it slows down to a crawl and no longer is sycronised with my speech / sound playback.

Does anyone know of any ideas to help me please?

Thanks

Okay look in the project properties and then compile then make sure you are set to PCode. Which is faster.

Actally native code is faster than P-code since P-Code still needs to be translated at runtime. - Jeff Marler B-)

Yes, but gosubs are 5-6 times faster all with some other things.

Better lose the

gosubs

guys, that's just one of several old-timer's constructs that are gone in VB.Net

What's probably happening is that you synchronized the animatronics in the ide, which is much slower then when it is compiled. What you need to do is synch the animatronics with the compiled exe's.

I would do it by setting the timing values and then compile and run it. Keep repeating the process till things become synched... Troy Williams B.Eng.
