Pros light sensor

Does pros have api for light sensor?

#2

Light sensor uses the analog port, so you just use pros::ADIAnalogIn::get_value() or adi_get_value() for that port, and it returns the light level.

Info on the light level output scheme is available in the Light Sensor Instructions

Please take the time to read the pros docs.
Under API -> ADI (TriPort) API, you can find this page..
An ADILightSensor is an ADIAnalogIn.
You can call all the functions related to an analog sensor, such as calibrate(), get_value(), or get_value_calibrated().

ADILightSensor sensor('A');
sensor.calibrate(); //sets current reading as the 0 point
// unnecessary but good for varying light conditions
int value = sensor.get_value_calibrated(); //gets the difference between now and when it was calibrated
int value = sensor.get_value(); //gets the value without taking into account the calibration
