I figured you would be glad that I was not running 0.2.4. I cannot get it to compile correctly, so I use 0.2.3 instead. The two full programs are below, in case you wanted to see them in full.

Hee, Hee. It was 0.2.3, not 0.2.4. Here is the code snippet that setup and read the values. The current(working) code takes out the refresh, and changes the delay to msleep. ds_active(&SENSOR_2); ds_rotation_on(&SENSOR_2); (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
