Strange behavior of program running on NXT

Hey Steven
I'm using RR and a NXT, sending commands and reading sensors over usb. I have a variable set to 0 unless the bot stops panning then it is set to 1 and that variable is linked to mailbox one, which is toggled to "SEND"
running on the NXT the program waits for a message compares it to the number 1 in mailbox 1 and then preforms motor movements and loops, continuing to check for the recieved message.
the variable changes correctly in RR... but the motor does not move. SOMETIMES, if I press the stop button in the lego nxt module dialog the motor begins to preform the program running on the NXT as it was supposed to....
any idea what is going on, I can attach my NXT-G program, Robo file, and vb script if that would help?

here is vbscript, it also seems the motor runs through one loop the first time the program is run and the variable (FIRE) is = to 1, then it never runs through again, even when the variable changes back to 1?
'320x240 resolution camera
' initialize starting servo values
pan = GetVariable("PAN_SERVO")
tilt = GetVariable("TILT_SERVO")
pand = GetVariable("PAN_DEE")
fire = GetVariable("FIRE")
' get the size (width or height) of the current bounding box
size = GetVariable("COG_BOX_SIZE")
' if it is equal to "" then no object was detected
if size <> "" then
' get the horizontal center of gravity
cogX = GetVariable("COG_X")
' pan left
if cogX < 140 then
pan = 36
' pan right
elseif cogX > 180 then
pan = 222
else pan = 128
end if
if Pand > 790 then
pan = 0
elseif pand < -790 then
pan = 255
end if
' get the vertical center of gravity
cogY = GetVariable("COG_Y")
' tilt down
if cogY < 100 then
tilt = 0
' tilt up
elseif cogY > 140 then
tilt = 255
else tilt = 128
end if
if tilt = 128 and pan = 128 then
fire = 1
else
fire = 0
end if
SetVariable "FIRE", fire
SetVariable "PAN_DEE", pand
SetVariable "PAN_SERVO", pan
SetVariable "TILT_SERVO", tilt
end if
 program.robo

Hello again, I have figured out the problem, even though I do not have MOTOR C under variable control, my program running on the NXT cannot control it for more than a few seconds. When I disabled the motor control running for the other motors A + B, (I clicked that check box off entirely) the program ran fine on the NXT and the motor C moved as it should.
Is there any way to have the motor operate as it should?

to clarify, is there a way to have RR control motors a and b and motor c be under NXT control.

Mike,
We made a change to ensure that the motor values are not sent when no variable is set which should solve your issue. Can you download the latest version and try again?
Thanks,
STeven.

Hey, I'll be testing this a few days, sorry for the delay, going back to school meant packing up all my servos and stuff.
