  Re: Program() always returns 0
 
SetUserDisplay does not work like that. You need to specify either a sensor, timer, or global variable. Once you have done that it will continuously update the display as the value changes. In your case you should write your program something like: (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
