This should work, its not tested. you might put a hard spin loop
after the EMIT to make sure the code is going out before sampling the
light sensor.

Perhaps EMIT? would do

something like:

100 0 DO LOOP

should give you a delay. I'll provide some timing on the web site
soon!

I'm nearly done with my NQC to pbFORTH port of the IR proximity detector,
but I'm stuck where I have at present got a 30ms delay (Sleep(3) in NQC).
I expect it isn't critical but the current detector works so well I am
loath to change any of the parameters. The timers in pbFORTH only count in
100ms steps, so how can I get a 30ms or better timer? Do you know how NQCs
Sleep is implemented?

(...) Alas, I only used the firmware timers available as core RCX firmware calls. I can look through Kekoa's disassembly to see if there are higher resolution timers available ( I think the motor timers might be useful ) In general, NQC hooks in (...)

(...) YES!!! The standard FORTH word U. prints an insigned integer, while EMIT sends out an arbitrary byte. So, for a simple IR proximity detector, you would write something like: HEX 0 SENSOR_ACTIVE (labelled sensor #1) 3 1 SENSOR_TYPE (light (...)
