Passing a motor port or sensor port as an input parameter

Is there any way to pass a motor port or a sensor port as an object being input into a function as a parameter? Basically, I want to write just one “getEncoder” function, with one input parameter that is the encoder to be read. Can I do this?

Yes. Sensors are a special datatype called “tSensors”.

Here’s an example function:

void untilDark(int threshold = 505, tSensors sensorPort = in2)
{
while(SensorValue[sensorPort] < threshold){wait1Msec(1);}
}
