| | | If I want to start a program using spirt.ocx do I use StartTask (number) ? I've been trying to use this with no luck. And would appreciate some help with this. (26 years ago, 15-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | I don't use spirit.ocx - I work directly with the bytecodes, but I think this info is true for spirit.ocx as well... The number in StartTask(number) refers to a task within a program (each program can have multiple tasks). Typically, you would use (...) (26 years ago, 15-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | (...) Is it possible to do this from within a running program? What I read implied to me that the SelectProgram() would stop the current program so it wouldn't be running to issue the StartTask(). It would sure be nice to have a movement program (...)

Execution stops when you switch programs, so the following start task instruction will never get reached. Maybe Dave meant that you can switch programs (...)

Reviewing my notes, the "stop all tasks, set current program, run program" pseudocode is really: stop (...) (26 years ago, 16-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)
