I want to expand the Scheme procedure

(get-light-value <sym | num>)

where <sym> is one of 'PORT1, 'PORT2, 'PORT3 and num is either 0, 1, or 2

to the FORTH code

128 <port> SENSOR_MODE
<port> SENSOR_CLEAR
<port> SENSOR_READ
<port> SENSOR_VALUE

So, if a user were to write something like

(cond
  [(> (get-light-value 'PORT2) 40) (do-something)]
  [(<= (get-light-value 'PORT2) 40) (do-something-else)])

it would execute the above FORTH code as it checked each condition. Do I
understand the way the light sensor works under pbForth correctly, or is
there something else I'd need to do to get at the value from the light
sensor? I only ask because my tests from the console are... inconclusive.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt, I'll try to help. :o) First, you have to specify the type of sensor that is hooked on the port. You do that with: type port SENSOR_TYPE Let me know if you need to know the different values for 'type'. 3 is a light sensor. Ports are numbered (...)
