The lamp is relatively power hungry, so you should connect it to a motor port
for best result. OnFwd ("ports", "pwr"); will light it, with brightness
controlled by the pwr parameter. Off ("ports"); will turn it off.
I have not tested, but most probably the lamp can dimly glow on a sensor port.
Use SetSensorType ("port", IN_TYPE_LIGHT_ACTIVE); to turn it on and
SetSensorType ("port", IN_TYPE_SWITCH); to turn it off.

| Thanks a bunch for the reply! The education set has the lamp, so my students would like to use it now... I'll keep you 'posted' about the results... Regards, Torsten Otto (...) (16 years ago, 15-Apr-08, to lugnet.robotics)
