Thanks a lot Ralph,
And I'm sure you're right. I tried this:
10000 VALUE CTR
: test 100 0 DO I CR . CTR 0 DO LOOP LOOP ;
For CTR > 11000, the numbers are displayed one at a time. Below 11000,
they're displayed in batch. So, it probably means that for a 11000+ loop,
the IR channel become inactive long enough to allow you (or pbForth) to read
its buffer.
I'll work on a PAUSE word using the timers. That should work just fine.
Thanks again.
Mario

| Here it is... : wait 15 0 timer_SET BEGIN 0 timer_GET 0= UNTIL ; I go with 0,15 seconds to be on the safe side; 0,10 seconds is too border line. So now, the first example becomes: : TEST 100 0 DO I CR . wait 7 1 0 MOTOR_SET LOOP 7 4 0 MOTOR_SET ; (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
