Three possibilities: 1) The serial port commands are being eaten. I seem to recall that we had a hard time trying to get robust serial communication with the Hemisson. 2) You are sending commands so fast that you don't actually see the robot stop. 3) You are using old code. The CD-ROM code might not be up to date. Also, computers are much faster than when we wrote that code years ago. Maybe some timing in the code is off. There are a few FIXME's in pyrobot/robot/khepera.py... perhaps you can try tweaking some values? Hope that helps, -Doug _______________________________________________ Pyro-users mailing list [email protected] http://emergent.brynmawr.edu/mailman/listinfo/pyro-users
