    I'm not sure I understand what knind of help you need. However, there are 2 GOSUBs without labels, Gosub Motors and Gosub Sensors. I cannot
    locate either Sensors or Motors.

    BS22 -

    It appears to me that what you have offered as "part of the source code" may be a merging of multiple programs, which when taken together, do not work. The reason I say that may be found below in this program that I downloaded from the Lynxmotion web site. It looks remarkably similar to part of the program in your posting:

    ' Program LINETRK.BS2
    ' Simple Line Tracking
    x var byte
    y var byte
    left var byte
    right var byte
    lstop con 150
    rstop con 150
    left = lstop
    right = rstop
    lmax con lstop + 10
    rmax con rstop + 10
    lmin con lstop - 10
    rmin con rstop - 10

    start:
    if in15 = 1 then skip1
    left = lmax
    right = rmax
    gosub p_out
    skip1:
    if in14 = 1 then skip2
    left = lmax
    right = rmin
    gosub p_out
    skip2:
    if in13 = 1 then skip3
    left = lmin
    right = rmax
    gosub p_out
    skip3:
    gosub p_out
    goto start

    p_out:
    pulsout 0, (left * 5)
    pulsout 1, (right * 5)
    pause 20
    return

    This may have originally been a Parallax Demsonstration program, I really couldn't say. I've no idea where the other parts of your program came from, but that code (above) will provide a simple line tracking function, if the wiring of the motors and sensors matches the program requirements. Although I have no method to actually test it, I suspect it works as is.

    That being offered, let's see if we can go from here.

    Regards,

    Bruce Bates

    GOSUB is a command look it up in the PBasic help in the latest version of the Basic Stamp editor. Briefly GOSUB means GO to a SUBroutine ,that you have written and placed in your program, and execute that code. GOSUB functions with the RETURN command. I suggest you study both of them in the help section. Things will start to make more sense.
