Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has any sort of sample code for color sensors from hitechnic in RobotC

any help will be greatly appreciated

Hello JT

I just started a program that uses the color sensor. I'm built the LEGO TriBot, and the TriBot arm is suposed to come down and pick up a blue ball that is on a stand.

In the RobotC Motors and Sensors Setup I have:

name: colorSensor
type: SONAR 9V

In my program I have:

if (SensorValue(colorSensor) == 2) break;

As the TriBot arm comes down, the sensor value is 0. When the color sensor gets close to the blue ball, the color sensor value changes to 2.

If you are interested, I own a couple of these sensors, I could add the sensor to my sensor driver posted in another thread in these forums.

thanks...your help is much appreciated

Sorry JT2007 I have been using nXc lately and haven't spent much time with RobotC. I will try to get to this for you by the end of the week. It should be pretty easy to do since I have a basic skeleton in place.

I have added the Color Sensor to the NXT_I2C_DeviceDrivers.c
See:
viewtopic.php?t=212

I hope this is helpful. This sensor has some other readings that can be obtained from the sensor, such as the raw RGB values the sensor sees.

If anyone is interested I can add this to a future release of the driver.
