Some very well done modules Kevin. I really like the "Wave" module. It moves quickly enough to make it more interesting than a slower set of steps. Bryan (17 years ago, 5-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, FTX)

Just a guess, but maybe you've run into a memory limit in the device such that once x many commands are stored it ignores all commands after that. I don't own one of these, so if you're feeling up to it, you could take yours apart to see what kind (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jul-07, to lugnet.technic)
