Here it is, it is working, but is waiting for IR_MODE_HI,
STOP and a non-blocking EMIT.

There is a light sensor on the centre connector pad.

.dp displays proximity in the LCD as DEFCON.RawLight alternating
with the average ambient raw light sensor reading.

p20 starts the pinger and loops for 20 .dp

pl starts the pinger and loops until the power button is pressed

John, I tried to put this part of the code into my test script without the ping word and it worked fine. Yes, I uncommented the line that does not work for you. I'm going to have a closer look at ping...I wonder if it's running out of stack or doing (...) (26 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
  RE: Multitasker test script
 
John, I've been looking at your ping routine and note the following... Even if FF EMIT did not block, the wait makes things irrelevant. At 2400 baud, the FF is out the port within 4 msec. In fact, if EMIT did not block, you could probably wait jsut (...) (26 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
