Thanks! That should do it for me.
I've changed the proxy code and TWGSRobotCode to send the byte, and over the
past 3 days I've had no lockups. So, even though it was crashing using
"sendBin(0, 1)" (since commenting out that code made the crash go away), I
don't think it was that in particular. Maybe something that I was doing around
it made that function fail dramatically?
Anyway, the new proxy code sends the zero bytes now. I don't have an example
to send you digital man, but if I get around to trying to recreate the crashes,
I'll send it in. :)
Thanks again for your help!
