I emailed KG yesterday with the fix, Indirect is used as a byte instead of 'Word Indirect' in the first block of the DO/LOOP.
Also when printing the screen, printing stops at $555 whereas it should end at $559.

Purely a defensive move, Penguin Robot sends out jamming infrared
to continuously block the IR signal of other robots resulting in
their blindness, confusion, and retreat in battle.

1) Stride Center / Tilt Center
2) Left Photoresistor / Right Photoresistor
3) Compass Heading
Given the presence of the LCD, all these info are available from the Penguin, running autonomously, without any connection with the PC (no need to use Debug window). The user interacts with the Penguin by using an adapted version of the Penguin Virtual keyboard by humanoido (see penguin_virtual_keyboard.bpx at http://robotinfo.net/penguin/ ).
When you turn on the Penguin, the LCD displays a welcome message. Then the IR devices can be used as virtual buttons: just put your hand in front of the Penguin, and it will display the first set of info. Pressing again the virtual button, the Penguin will cycle through all the detect/display steps. The last step is just an "LCD Off" option, which is useful to keep the program running while saving battery power. Press the virtual button again to start a new cycle.
With LCD models 27977 and 27979, you can also control the backlight of the display. The backlight lights up the display so that it is easier to see in the dark. Before displaying the welcome text, the Penguin checks the light level and, if it is too dark, it automatically turns on the backlight.
You can find the program here: www.p-robot.com/index.php/display.html

www.p-robot.com
All the info previously stored under www.robotinfo.net/penguin has been migrated there, but those old pages are still available, in order to avoid missing links and to allow people to find it through old search engines indexes, and they will continue to stay there for a long time.
However, I believe that Penguin Robot deserves a dedicated domain, easier to type and to remember. Any new development will be posted under this new www.p-robot.com address. The site has also been redesigned, and I hope you like it.
Please let me know about any missing link or other error you might find in it.
