my color sensor cant see orange but i have a sound thats orange. |:O

[hitechnic]

@MrAbbe800 Is this a HiTechnic Color Sensor (and not the LEGO sensor)? And if so, do you know if it is the version 1 to 2 of the HiTechnic Color Sensor? The V1 sensor has two convex lenses while the V2 has one flat and one convex lens. The V1 has a multi-colored LED while the V2 has a bright white LED.

Is that the same color sensor that comes with NXT 2.0?

[hitechnic]

@SeAnStAmOn No, HiTechnic makes a different Color Sensor than the one included with the NXT 2.0 sets. Either can be used for a project like this.

Hey in the mindstorms 2.0 kit their is a color sensor so u could just use that instead of Hitehnic

[hitechnic]

That is correct but it should be noted the LEGO color sensor and the HiTechnic color sensor are not the same. The V2 Color Sensor is a more accurate than the LEGO sensor and can also detect colors in passive mode with the LED off.

@hitechnic i was asking which one was used in the video.

[tajniak013]

czy nie lepiej byłoby napisac robotowi w ten sposób żeby ruszał się nie o ileś tylko do jakiejś konkretnej pozycji bez resetowania(ruch o wykryciu koloru?
