Sorry, I know this isn't an FTC specific question, but this seemed like the best LVLM support area on NI.com
I have a LVLM application that needs to work for Either a Light sensor,OR Color sensor.
That is, the robot hardware may be built using either a Light Sensor or a Color sensor to detect a black line, and I can't control which is used.
Therefore I'd like to either be able to detect it in software or use code that doesn't care which type of sensor is used.
Note: A color sensor can be "told" to act as a basic red LED light sensor.
Why is this important?
Well, the retail LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 kit comes with a Color sensor and no Light Sensor.
However, the LEGO Education NXT Base kit comes with a Light Sensor, and no Color sensor.
So, IF I want to produce a program for a robot built with either kit, my program needs to be adaptable.
Yes, I know I could produce two programs, but what a pain to have to ensure that the end user installs the correct version.
Also, the problem is actually biggere, because there are TWO sensors, so I'd need 4 different programs.
Any suggestions on how I can make my program flexible enough to use either one?
