A basic question - pls help

[Merlin]

Hi all
After a very long trip, my Comprehensive Kit has arrived to me,wih no apparent damage on the travelling...
First thing I have done is to try the examples on the Quick Start Guide and I have found an annoying problem:

Each program wich contain a Print sentece inside a Loop causes a General Error and Windows closes the Behavior program.

This happened in two differents computers.
Have anyone any idea what's going on?
Any advice?

Thanks and best regards

Merlin,

I've had the same problem with the Behaviour Control Program. It looks like some sort of buffer overrun or something as a print not printing a huge number of values works fine.

To get round the issue I:

1. Load the program with BCP but don't run it.
2. Quite BCP
3. Start a terminal program like Hyperterm (57k, 8,n,1) connected to the same port as the Biloid.
4. Run the program with the start button on CM-5

I get my debug data printed in Hyperterm. It is a bit of a pain but it works

Thanks Pev, that's a creative and tricky way you suggest...I will try today.
If this is a massive problem maybe Limor could report it to Robotis, in order to fix this issue in the next Behavior program version
Best regards
