ok, so with some tinkering and looking into the manual i am found as clueless as i started. I'm creating a robot that has an ir range finder attached to the servo·so that i can scan the area and look for obsticles, goals,etc. Any way i have no idea on how to store the values i get from the range finder into an array. do i have to make seperate variables and turn my servo a certain amount then record the value. Isn't their a smoother way than stop, take value, turn, stop, etc. I'm trying to keep to one cog and minimum memory. Help is appreciated.

    kalvin,
    Go ahead and post what code you've got thus far so folks can make recommendations (using the code "#" button to retain formatting).
    from what you've said though, I would say:

    VAR
byte array[noparse][[/noparse]500], ctr
...
...
repeat ctr from 1 to 499
    array[noparse][[/noparse]ctr-1] := sensorvalue

    This is a way that arrays can be defined and used in spin.
