In active mode, the value you read from the light sensor depends on how you
power the sensor and read the A/D converters. In particular, the delay
from the time you turn off the power to the sensor to the time you do A/D
conversion matters. Has somebody changed the sensor charge or A/D
conversion code, or is there any reason to think the conversion time has
changed?
I don't know how LegOS does A/D conversion anymore. It used to charge and
read the sensors in a strange way, and I forget if all the sensors were
treated the same or not. Do the readings change if you move the sensor
from port to port?
