Re: Programming the Lego Colour Sensor in NXC

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.

Re: Mindstorms NXT 2.0 software Mac vs. PC

I use it on a Macbook Pro running 10.5.8 (not Snow Leopard). No problems at all with the NXT-G environment, or with using NXC (with Xcode as an IDE). Except... I can't get Bluetooth comms working.

If not, would Steve's Color ...

Thanks Steve. I've already borrowed a couple of your other blocks ;) Unfortunately they are not editable, so in the end I copied Brian's array idea from scratch but added an Array_Name parameter into the Read and Write MyBlocks, so I can have more than one array being used at a time in a program.

NXT-G Arrays. Jason King blocks?

I'm new to Mindstorms and NXT. I am looking for an array implementation in NXT-G. I could take the ideas from Brian Davies and tweak them a bit http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/brdavis/NXT/NXT-G/arrays.png but I'd like to check out Jason King's polymorphic array blocks too. Any idea how to get hold...
