I dont think though that our Miele goes much beyond 20 or maybe 10 msec cycletime. From watching it doing its thing. I was merely referring to the micro controller and its common programming environment. As soon as you want to go below say 2 or 3 milliseconds control loop cycle time everything changes, whatever language you use. Unless you throw money at it and go for a high speed cpu. j.
