Well, I do not know if I have to have code to display the values. I do not get
anything on
screen when I run this code. If I put a loop, and with every loop, the sensor
value is being displayed, then I get the values mentioned before. I run the
initialization steps also, and still get the bogus values.

| I added back in the display code, and left out the lcd_refreshes. Then I got a proper counter. I wonder why the refresh was throwing the reading off. Thanks for all your help, Andy (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| (...) Andy- Have you set up the rotation sensors correctly? You need to do a few things before you get reasonable values for the rotation sensor. 1) use ds_active(&SENSOR_1) to turn on the sensor. 2) use ds_rotation_on(&SENSOR_1) to turn on the (...)
