I have an Easy question :D

if i do
[code]
Front_IR_Detect_Right	VAR	RB.3
ir_in_right = Front_IR_Detect_Right
[/code]

While running have i put the VALUE of [b]RB.3[/b] at that moment in time into [b]ir_in_right[/b], or is [b]ir_in_right[/b] just a pointer to [b]RB.3[/b] now?
Lets say time passes and [b]RB.3[/b] changes state, will [b]ir_in_right[/b] change, or will it keep its earlier assigned VALUE?

Here is my concern:
[code]
IF ir_in_right = yes THEN      'yes is 0 in this case
   right_Motor_A_Status  = 1
   right_Motor_A = 1
   PAUSE Motor_Delay
   right_Motor_A = 0    
   right_Motor_A_Status = 0
ENDIF
[/code]

while running the above code in real life, the [b]right_motor_a_status[/b] sometimes sticks high and stays there until i power down down the chip. My guess is the state is changing during the [b]pause[/b] and the loop is exiting without setting [b]right_motor_a_status[/b] back to 0.


Here is a [url=http://www.hellspark.com/dm/ebench/sx/dave/explorer.sxb]link[/url] to the complete code i'm currently mucking about with.
