Well, I'm not in a position that I really need MARKER with the multitasking
testing, just a quicker way of reloading pbFORTH. When I lose it, I really lose
it.

Have you changed the definition of SENSOR_READ? I should have kept the old code

I am calling it from a task word, my problem is that it is an IR proximity
