Thank you for your well commented adaptation. I'm still experiencing the same problem even though the values for the different variables as shown by 'watch the brick' check out. The problem is in a different place. I wrongly assumed wait 'ticks' and (...) (19 years ago, 26-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics)

Thanks. I thought setting maxlight before the 'if' statement would be enough, but moving it closer to the front (before the 'while' statement') did the trick. The bit after the while loop still gives me pain though. I've changed it a bit to be able (...) (19 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics)

I'm very glad to know you got it working again. Incidently, the '1.02' I was talking about isn't the version number on NXT-G itself, but on the USB driver it uses. If you haven't updated that, you can still occassionally get locking into 'clicking (...) (19 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
