I thought I would pass on what I have learned. Robolab sends very different
code to the RCX than you might assume. For example, "Wait for Rotation"
will always clear the rotation sensor first! There are a number of other
anomalies, such as the "motor A forward" icon always doing a "motor A
backward", but this isn't really a problem if done consistently. But I have
found enough problems that I will retract my "bug" claim, because I can't be
sure one of my misunderstandings didn't result in what I saw. But clearly
the manual and help needs work.
Thanks to Peter Vogel, who gave me the key: change the COM Port to "text",
and you get a nice text version of the commands being sent. It is very
enlightening.

| The text displayed is a mnemonic representation of the generated LASM code. In the case of the Motor function, it appears the mnemonic is incorrect but the generated LASM code is correct.

| The WAIT FOR ROTATION and WAIT FOR ANGLE icons do reset the angle sensor before they do their wait. However, there are several other programming constructs that will not require the angle sensor to start at 0 every execution. The LOOP WHILE ANGLE (...)

| I am pretty certain I have found a bug in RoboLab. The behavior is reversal of output A. Has anyone experienced behavior from RoboLab that they are certain is not a programming error? Is there any patch or known bug list? Very frustrating. --Jack (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
