looping question

Archiver

Here is my problem. I have an IR sensor that when triggered is
supposed to enter a loop. No the problem I am having is the loop
never executes. If I take out the pulsout commands, the loop runs
and x is incremented. When i put back in the pulsout commands, the
loop never loops, and the debug screen never displays the value for
x. Can somone please help me figure out what is goin on? Here is
the problematic code:

main:
freqout 1, 1, 38000
rightIRdet = in0
debug home, ? rightIRdet
if rightIRdet=0 then test
goto main

test:
for x=1 to 10
pulsout left_servo,850
pulsout right_servo,650
pause 20
debug ? x
next
goto main

Thanks

Your stamp is probably being reset when you try to drive the servos. One
way to prove this is place a debug statement before the "main" label. If
the stamp is reseting, the debug statement will be executed every time you
try the move the servo.
