 LampHi everybody! I'd like to know how to switch on and off the lamp of the NXT (I mean the one like this http://www.legoengineering.com/activiti ... %20pic.JPG). Thanks

Re: Lamp Hello,
I don't have lamp like this, but the cable looks like a normal motor cable to me. You could try to connect the lamp to a motor port and run a motor. If it works, you can adjust the light "volume" with the motor speed. You can also try to connect it to a sensor port and set the sensor to an active light sensor. |

Re: Lamp Hi Willem,
The light works just like a motor, so you can plug it into a motor port and program it the exact same way B-) motor[motorA] = 100; // full on motor[motorA] = 0; // off Have Fun B-) |

Re: Lamp I'm finding it's really hard to get the lamp to turn off. If I run something like this it barely blinks off even though it should stay off for four seconds. It mostly stays on. Anybody know why this might be?

Re: Lamp You might need to turn off the PID controller for the motor. You can do that in the "Motors and Sensors Setup" wizard (go to the "Robot" menu). I'm not sure but it's something you need to do when controlling abouth kind of NXT light.
