;turns on light for 4 seconds

Using an Atompro ARC32 I am working on a project where a submarine has to follow different headings for different amounts of time. I have been using hservotime to accomplish this but I don't believe it can be set to zero and I am afraid if the clock resets, my timing would be wrong.

Is there a way to reset the clock or is there a better way to run a timer. Below is what I have been using

enablehservo2

starttime var long
stoptime var long
leg var long
time con 4

main
leg = time *20000000
high p44
starttime = hservotime 0 ;get current time
do
stoptime = (hservotime 0)-starttime
while stoptime < leg

low p44

The way you are doing it is the correct way to use hservotime. It seems to me you should be able to use the hservo speed argument in conjunction with the hservostate or hservowait commands. Provide a little more detail of what you are trying to do and I can probably help you.
