Setting sensor port pin properties

[matsik]

I have read (in several documents) about the possibility to set pins to act in a non-default way. Specifically pin 1 to act as a +9V provider and pin 6 as a high speed analog input.

Question: how, if at all possible, is this done in LeJOS?

Hi,
Pin 1 can be set to output 9V by leJOS. Take a look at...
http://lejos.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lejos/trunk/classes/lejos/nxt/SensorPort.java?view=markup
Take a look at the native methods setADTypeById and setPowerTypeById the comments should explain what is going on.

There is currently no support in leJOS for using Pin 6 as an analog input.

What sort of device are you looking to connect? The standard analog input is effectively sampled every 2ms, do you need a higher sample rate then this?

All the best

Hi Andy. My Gyro inertial integrator may need faster sample rate...
