Pulse-in timeout

Phil Pilgrim (PhiPi)

Please add to the docs for the Pulse-in block that it will time out after 250 msec if no pulse is received in that amount of time.

If the level of the looked-for pulse is different from the constant level of the pin, it returns zero. If the levels are the same, it returns 23 usec.

The 23 seems a bit odd. Shouldn't it, too, be zero instead? That could easily be mistaken for an actual pulse 23 usec wide.

What I have not tested is what happens if a leading edge occurs within the 250 msec but never returns.

Thanks,

I created a new issue for this in the Solo GitHub repository: https://github.com/parallaxinc/solo/issues/326.

Thanks, Jim. I wasn't sure which section there to post it in.

Solo is getting the lion's share of attention these days. Anything related to blocks should go there but I do get notifications when new issues hit most of the repositories.
