[oopic] Re: OOPIC C1+ Firmware

BTW...below is the basic code that I've been trying to get to work for
the past few days:

-------------------------------------------------
Dim Vex As New oRCIN6
Dim Ch1_Link As oBus
Dim Servo1 As New oServo

Sub Main()
ooPIC.Delay = 5000

Vex.Operate = 1
Servo1.IOLine = 8
Servo1.Operate = 1

'Servo/Channel 1
Ch1_Link.Input.Link(Vex.Ch1.Value)
Ch1_Link.Output.Link(Servo1.Position.Value)
Ch1_Link.Operate = 1

End Sub
-------------------------------------------------

I've even used the Object Watcher found in the Files section (great
and useful tool!) to look at the values of Vex.Ch1.Value, and it
always is 0. Because it is, the Servo will move to an extremity
because it is expecting 0 to 63. Moving the stick for Ch. 1 on the
transmitter, though, does nothing to change that value, leading me to
believe that the incoming multiplexed servo line from the Vex is not
being properly parsed.

FYI...
