Ok, I feel like an idiot now; I cannot reproduce the result!
I did it this morning, but altered the program afterwards!
But when I try now, nothing happens!
As I recall it, it was the same program with the light
sensor actived all the time; the only thing I did was to
pull off and put on the light sensor cable... But for now,
just ignore me!! :o)

Hmmm... so the higher the power before stop(), the better
the stop?
