$50 sharp IR code - calling non existence thread?

75
76      //object on right
77      else if(scan_angle < 41)
78         robot_turn_right();
79
80      //object is centered
81      else
82         robot_go_straight();
83
84      delay_cycles(400);//a small delay to prevent crazy oscillations
85      }
86   /*********ADD YOUR CODE ABOVE THIS LINE **********/
87
88   return 0;
89   }

On line 42, it says "servo_scan(scan_angle);". I cant find a thread in either the c source file nor the SoR_utils header file... so what is this line calling? Have I somehow somewhere deleted a thread?

In the SoR_Utils.h file for the stampy version code of the $50 robot you will see this:
Code: [Select]
void servo_scan(signed long int speed)
{
PORT_ON(PORTD, 2);
delay_cycles(speed);
PORT_OFF(PORTD, 2);//keep off
delay_cycles(200);
}
