Please use sensible subject lines when asking for something on the forums.
There are plenty of examples on these forums of using the colour sensor. I suggest you search for it a little bit.

Not a helpful subject line I agree, but I have to say I too have struggled to find any useful information on using NXC with the LEGO colour (color?) sensor on here.
Specifically, I'd like to know how to use it as a greyscale sensor.

"Colour" and "color" are both proper ways to spell the word. "Color" is the American English way, and "colour" is the UK English way. I think it's the same with gray and grey.
What do you mean by "greyscale"? You want to read it as if it was a light sensor? Just set it up as "red", instead of "full", or just read the red raw value.

What do you mean you didn't get help? The answer is yes. What should you write? What do you mean by that?

Then the values returned by SENSOR_1 will be 0-6 (or something like that).
You can also use one of the following lines of code.
Code: Select all
SetSensorColorRed(S1);
SetSensorColorGreen(S1);
SetSensorColorBlue(S1);
Then the values returned by SENSOR_1 will be the RAW value for the color.

The SetSensorColorFull gives an error "unidentified SetSensorColorFull". What to do?
