Hi All
I'm struggling with VB and spirit.ocx.
I've enclosed the VB code below, but the problem I have is that whenever I try
to poll the angle sensor, the value on the RCX resets to zero. Hence a zero
reading, even if I am turning the angle sensor.
I have a form set up that allows you to select the sensor type and the mode.
Type is set to angle and mode is set to angle.
Any ideas???
thanks
Mike

| What is going on? I am trying to get the legOS firmware downloaded to my RCX using the firmdl3 command, but I get erratic and varying responses from "bad ir link" to "firmdl3: delete firmware failed".
