Class I2CSensor

java.lang.Object
  icommand.platform.nxt.I2CSensor

Direct Known Subclasses:

Compass, Ultrasonic

public class I2CSensor
extends java.lang.Object

A sensor wrapper to allow easy access to I2C sensors, like the ultrasonic sensor. Currently uses the default I2C address of 0x02, but some sensors can be connected to same port lines and use different addresses using the Auto Detecting Parallel Architecture (ADPA). Currently unsure if there are commercial port expanders yet to use this function, or whether the Lego Ultrasonic sensor is ADPA compatible.
