Some ADCs I dealt with in the dim distant past took forever to take a single sample, but could be put into a "continuous conversion" mode, where they make a sample available in whatever is their natural cycle time. Some even allowed a degree of control over the sample rate.
Can you turn it loose, and just pick a sample from a buffer at your 100mS intervals?
Just a thought from an old fart hardware type.

I'm trying to fiddle with the continuous mode to see if I can get better performance out of it. Otherwise I may upgrade to a faster and more expensive 24-bit ADC to see if that helps.

Got it to work - the continuous mode thing was the ticket.

Good to know I haven't completely lost the thread!

Sorry, I took a nap. I would have said thank you but I was literally already working along toward this end when I happened upon you.

Okay fair, but I was looking for something more reliable if not deterministic. *hides*

i use an infinite number of infinite-sided dice to predict reality branching, but, the outcome is unfair 50% of the time, in any one eternity, in any one universe .... which makes me suspicious the dice may be rigged

And it ha a new feature: if you highlight text on a page, then right click you get a new option "Copy link to highlight" which includes the instructions to go to that highlighted text when you paste into the address bar.
Brilliant! there are times when that would be really helpful - sending someone directly to line 157 of a web page and they get the relevant info directly.
So I thought I'd try it.
And ... it doesn't work in the Lounge because the text of messages is collapsed and it can't find them ... 
(Works in QA though, because they aren't)

.. which they seem to achieve through an extension to the URL scheme, as in:
https://examplesite.com/page?param=search#:~:text=word_to_highlight
So :~: is a sort of separator / indicator, and text= is a parameter name. I wonder what other parameters can be passed in this scheme, and also wonder if existing pages will break as a result? I guess not, since the new syntax follows the # marker used to identify a target on the page, and I assume (though have never tried) that :~: is not valid as a target name...
BTW it seems this feature came out in v90 this April..

I just highlight the text and drag it to the address bar, been doing this forever with various browsers.

In Chrome, that just seems to do a google search on the text?

I wonder how much carbon was released making, promoting, distributing and viewing the movie?

It's always a matter of whoever gets there first, isn't it? He was also declared to be the first so-called "green billionaire".
It's no coincidence. He saw the opportunity, and has been investing heavily ever since in industries that stand to profit the most from breakthroughs in sustainability. Can't say I blame him.

Yep, whatever is the key
To be honest for me that means something like 'dont post anything' here in the Lounge
And no, I didn't make this up, it's a rule, see Lounge above

It says trolling specifically. It does not say you cannot discuss the climate.
But yes, it's a topic that can become trollish very fast.

I confess, I have never looked at the posting rules, (rules aren't my strong suit!  ), but I'm surprised "climate" is off limits. Is it a contentious issue? Surely it's about as contentious as smoking!
My aim was to highlight the insight, vision and brilliance of Carl Sagan, rather than push any agenda. Why would I? I'll be long dead before droughts, fires and floods have devastated large parts of the planet. Not my problem! 
So if I, in any way, accidentally, suggested that the climate was in crisis and threatening our very existence, I apologise unreservedly.
