Configuring Sensor Within Program

Is there a way to configure a sensor from within the program, according to user input? I've tried it using


	Code: SensorType[sensor] = sensorHiTechnicMagnetic

But the sensor is still configured the way I originally initialized it (as a sensorNone), and it gives me an error saying that variable "sensor" was never defined, while, at the start of the program, I configured it using this


	Code: #pragma config(Sensor, S1, sensor, sensorNone)

If it's impossible to configure within the program, is there any way to detect what sensor is connected to a given port? (I think it'd be possible with I2C, for digital sensors at least, but I'm just wondering if there is an easier way)

Thanks!

Is this what your looking for?


	Code: SetSensorType(tSensorsLink, SensorType);
