Bug in RCX 2.0 beta (Was: RIS 2.0 software now in beta)

Dear all,

I'm experiencing a strange phenomenon in my MindScript program which I
believe to be a bug, where within a task the assignment of a multiplication
of a local variable (containing value 0) and a constant (set to 10) to a
second local variable would set a third local variable (containing 1) to
zero! If rewritten as a simple assignment and then a multiplying assignment
the phenomenon disappears.

Please find attached the script exemplifying the issue. It expects a light
sensor on 1, a motor turning the light sensor on B and a touch sensor on 2
being triggered when the motor turned the light sensor to 180° resp. -180°.

As a newbie to LEGO robotics (which both my son and me find fantastic) I
don't exclude that I overlooked some finesse of the RCX environment though
...

Dear All

The beta version of the RIS 2.0 ATLClient software, firmware • (firm0328.lgo), and
documentation are now available for download from the LEGO Mindstorms • site:
http://www.legomindstorms.com/sdk2/

Also, the winners of the alpha bug reporting competition are posted ;p

Cheers

JP

Dear all, I have managed to pin down the problem a bit further. Please look at the following program: program foo { const c10 = 10 main { forever {} } task test { local v2f local v2e local v2d v2f = 1 v2e = 2 v2d = v2e * c10 } } If you download this (...)
