Well, I use Linux so I completely skipped the part about NXT-G in the
docs and I missed the reference to the light sensor. Anyway, that is
sort of what I tried (I changed the original program so many times I am
not sure).
But probably I missed something because I got some results with this:
task main ()
{
SetSensorType(IN_2, SENSOR_TYPE_LIGHT_ACTIVE);
SetSensorMode(S2, SENSOR_MODE_PERCENT);
ResetSensor(S2);
while(!ButtonPressed(BTNCENTER,true))
{ NumOut(20, LCD_LINE3, Sensor(S2), true);
Wait(100);
}
}
Using SensorNormalized() gives values around 350 while Sensor gives what
the doc says ~33, ~77, ~66 . It doesn't seem to be too reliable 'tho,
as it doesn't really detect where the objects are that well and they
have to be really close (<5cm). But at least I got something!
Thanks!
