Hi Mike,
Yes, you're right, I started counting memory at 1 which should ofcourse have
been 0, and then the offset indeed makes our findings identical. I've
corrected the page on my website (and copied your email into it, hope you
don't mind): page scout/memory
So far it seems not many people are experimenting with the Scout yet, which
is unfortunate because I think it's a great pBrick. In fact I think I'm the
only one who has written an actual program for it (page ai/wall avoider).
Are you planning on figuring out what the other stuff in the Scout memory
is?

| Bert, I'm not sure that there is much more to be figured out. I think that everything we might need is now known. Am I wrong? By the way, I've enjoyed your web pages for quite a while. Thanks for the nice work. I'm impressed with how good your (...) (25 years ago, 5-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
