Actually, John, I think I may be able to explain the problem. You have two
tasks running at the same time. For the most part, the processor will switch
between the main task, and the scan tast. So, the order of execution would be
something like this with the main (M:) and scan (S:) tasks
...
S: if A=1
M: check for event scandone =1 (not 1, so false)
S: CurX = 0
M: wait until scancomplete (no event; false)
S: CurY = 0
M: check for event scandone =1 (not 1, so false)
S: scandone = 1
M: wait until scancomplete (no event; false)
S: (brackes don't count as lines) if B=0
M: check for event scandone =1 (true)
S: CurX = 1
M: wait until scancomplete (event = true)
S: CurY = 2
M: Stop scan
S: May execute next line or stop
Does that make sense? This sort of timing problem is very common with threaded
applications.
Again, my suggestion is to add: "if scandone=1" the line before every "if b=0"

| Well, I've had some time on my hands, and being totally unhappy with my 3T robot I decided a re-build was in order. Probably an 85% - 90% rebuild. About the only thing that wasn't touched was my cube magazine & the dropper mechanism. Everything else (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
