Here's what he had to say: Since the lamp is a rather power hungry device, it is best to drive it with an (...) (17 years ago, 15-Apr-08, to lugnet.robotics)

We successfully tried the following: task light() { OnFwd(OUT_A, 100); } It works like a motor =) OnRev works as well. We haven't yet tried the other idea. (17 years ago, 15-Apr-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Hi, Have you tried to connect the adapter cable in the output port and put the lamp on it? Use this program to test: task main() { OnFwd(OUT_A, 100); Wait(5000); Off(OUT_A); } This program assumes that you connected the cable in output A. (...) (17 years ago, 15-Apr-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Since the lamp is a rather power hungry device, it is best to drive it with an output port. Use OnFwd(port, pwr) to turn it on (with brightness controlled by pwr parameter), Off(port) to turn it off. Though I have not tested, it should also (...) (17 years ago, 15-Apr-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) 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 (...) (17 years ago, 15-Apr-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) My guess is you can turn it on using one of the powered sensor types such as SENSOR_TYPE_LIGHT_ACTIVE or SENSOR_TYPE_LOWSPEED_9V. I don't have a lamp to test this with or any of the cables that are required to connect a lamp to a sensor port. (...) (17 years ago, 14-Apr-08, to lugnet.robotics)

Howdy, maybe I'm overlooking something very simple, but I can't find a way to use the lamp that comes with the NXT when programming it in NXC. Is this plainly not supported? Regards, iTOtto (17 years ago, 14-Apr-08, to lugnet.robotics)
