Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
int	getMode() Get the current operating mode of the sensor
int	getType() Get the current type setting.
boolean	setMode(int mode) Set the current operating mode for the sensor attached to the port.
boolean	setType(int type) Set the operating type for the attached sensor.

Method Detail

getMode

int getMode()

Get the current operating mode of the sensor

Returns:

the current mode

getType

int getType()

Get the current type setting. Note that types are typically used to control the operation of Legacy and i2c sensors. They are normally not used for EV3 sensors.

Returns:

the current sensor type

setMode

boolean setMode(int mode)

Set the current operating mode for the sensor attached to the port.

Parameters:

mode - the new mode

Returns:

true if the mode has been accepted

setType

boolean setType(int type)

Set the operating type for the attached sensor. Normally type setting is only used with legacy sensors and for i2c devices (to set the speed and operating voltage). It is not normally used with EV3 sensors.

Parameters:

type -

Returns:

true if type accepted

setTypeAndMode

@Deprecated
boolean setTypeAndMode(int type,
                                    int mode)

Deprecated.
