Hi. I've installed new NQC and BRICXcc to test new functions in fast firmware by Dick Swan. I wanted to see if the new 1/1000th second resolution could let me drive a servo. When I try to use the SetMotorPower128 command, compiler is ok, downloading (...) (19 years ago, 19-Jul-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Actually these yielded some interesting results: a = 0 + ((x * 100) + y); occasionally yielded 0 (as expected), but never yielded anything other than 0 and the correct value (that I saw). a = ((x * 100) + y); and a = (x * (...)

I have a program with a setup routine for calibrating light sensors.
