Hello,
That seems too crazy ... I must make a silly mistake! But ...
li is a byte
li = 255 MOD 4 show in variables window 3 ... that's OK
li=0
li = (li-1) MOD 4 show 255 ???
li = (li-1) AND 0b00000011 do the job fine of course.
Some ideas?
Best regards.

Re: Error on MOD operator?
Hello,
The problem seems to be caused when the MOD operator is on the same line as the li - 1 calculation.
Performing the 0 - 1 calculation on an unsigned char variable, which requires special treatment, does not seem to simulate correctly when compounded with the MOD operator - possibly due to the variable types used within the Flowcode simulator.
The code should work correctly when downloaded to a target device.
Placing the MOD operator on a separate line (within the same Flowcode block) seems to solve the simulation problem:
li = li - 1
li = li MOD 4
The same problem does not exist with the int variables because they are signed.
