I've released another version of BricxCC. This release fixes a couple minor bugs. The Code Explorer feature wasn't processing a file when it was first opened (it was waiting until the first change was made). That should work correctly in this (...)

I’ve never had any problems with the light sensor reading fast enough, and I have a robot that runs pretty fast. How are you trying to follow the line?

The hardware can get a light sensor reading every 1 mS. Is the process that is reading the light sensor at a high enough priority?

I'm a new legos user and I'm trying to get my first app working. The issue appears to be that the light sensor value isn't getting updated as frequently as I expected.
