There are lots of different data sources in the rcx...
0 - variables
1 - timers
2 - constants
4 - random numbers
etc.
A lot of opcodes have arguments that are coded as source/value pairs.
In this case, if you want to specify the argument as a constant value,
you'd use source 2. If you wanted the opcode to read a variable, then
use source 0 and put the variable number in the instruction.
When using the 1.0 firmware, there are lots of limitations on the valid
sources for specific opcodes. The 2.0 firmware is a lot less
restrictive.
