Hi,

Can someone point out the differences between setting a sensor as Light (or any
custom sensor) vs setting the sensor as Raw?  Isnt it better to use the RAW
readings since it reports a range of 0 to 1023 as opposed to scaling the
readings to 0 to 100?  Dont quite understand this?

I'd guess it depends on what you are doing.

Without a doubt, raw gives you the best sensor resolution.

I'd guess that for kids it is easier to think in terms of 0 to 100%.

Since you are not a kid, raw is probably better.



Thanks,
