if anyone who knows better thinks it will help.)

Having fixed the other screwup, I can report that snipping the code I
discussed earlier allows everything to build just fine. It doesn't,
however, solve the issue with the light sensors.

I also tried swapping the two lines I mentioned earlier:

   mov.b r6l,@_ds_channel ; store next channel
   bclr r6l,@_PORT6:8 ; set output inactive for reading

That didn't help either, at least not a whole lot. So... maybe the problem
isn't in ds_handler(), but I can't figure out where else it could be.
Anyone? Or does everyone else just not care that the scaling is screwed
up?

Anyway, thanks again ahead of time...
Luis

(...) I looked through the dsensor stuff, and it looks quite bad to me... We execute a delay loop inside an interrupt handler. We issue the command to start the next read from that same handler. This will read the sensors very quickly, for the cost (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) It has changed from 0.1.x- Markus (who seems to have just about disappeared off the face of the planet) re-wrote a lot of that. On the other hand, in the actual ds_handler function not much has changed: the only thing that is apparent is that (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
