Ok, my last port didn't make much sense let me try that again.

for an active sensor ds_handler will periodically power the sensor off to read
the value.  The standard firmware does this to but at a different interval.
I'm wondering if this is part of the problem at all.  I'd like to take control
of the timing.  I figure if I set the sensor as passive and then make the
assembly calls in my user code I can control the power cycles at whatever
interval I choose.

Does anyone know what the proper assembly code would be?  I've tried cuting and
pasting from ds_handler but just locked up the RCX.

thanks,

mark

Still no luck in getting the mux working properly. I tried making use of the code for turning sensors on and off but later realized that the ds_handler code would still be turning the sensor off as part of its normal operation. I think I'm going to (...) (23 years ago, 7-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Since I'm now fairly sure that i've got the timing taken care of I'm wondering if the power cycling that ds_handler does is somehow causing the problem? I thought I might take control of this stuff in my test code. I assume if I set the sensor for (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
