Behavior LightSensor

[Stone]

Hi,
I have some problems with the LightSensor class. When I call the setFloodLight(true) method of my LightSensor Object, the red LED of my lightsensor won't turn on. (all other methods work perfect).
But when I make an object of the ColorSensor class, and call the setFloodLight(true) method of my ColorSensor Object, the floodLight works perfect. Has anyone an idea of what I am doing wrong?
(I am using the newest version of the LeJos firmware)

Gratz, Stone

What sensor do you have? It sounds like you have a Lego Color Sensor not a Lego Light Sensor. The Color Sensor looks like this:


The older light sensor looks like this:

Yes, I have the new color sensor. I thought that I could use the LightSensor class with the newer sensor for just measuring the brightness of the light.
But I see that you could also measure the light value with the colorsensor. The deception was that the other methods of the LightSensor Class worked great with my colorsensor.

Thanks for your response,
Stone
