  • The pi is either emitting a mouse move or detecting one on the physical device and measuring the time that passes until the photo diode/resistor (not an led) is detecting the cursor to move away.

    It’s essentially the same setup you would use to detect input to photon latency if you don’t have a high speed camera.

    Edit: Ah no there’s another setup with a pi pico in there… Yeah it’s binding and LED Lighting up to a button press to have two visual indicators (LED and Cursor Reaction) you can measure using a high speed camera. Them only having a 90fps phone camera makes it means the measurements are only in 11ms increments though.












  • Bringing more modern tools and features to existing large code bases is “destroying his reputation”? Bjarne and the committee is constantly extending and modernizing a language with code bases older than me. Yes that means the old stuff has to be kept around but that is the price of allowing existing code to migrate gracefully instead of just throwing it out of the window. There is a problem with some missing rails to enforce current and saver techniques but Bjarne is not denying that.
