I think that motors need time to stop.
If you rotate a motor backwards until the Sensor shows 0, then turn it off,
it might go to -2 until it is fully stopped. So if you do a ClearSensor()
afterwards your motor is off by two counts and your code won't know it.
That's why I asked.
I usually turn the motor off two counts before the destination is reached
(should depend on load, etc.).
I keep the position changes in a variable and always compare the sensor to
the variable. This keeps the error down to the two counts mentioned above
and it won't accumulate.
This *could* have been your problem but it probably wasn't.
Regards,
Stefan
