Color Sensor in Python mode #114

Closed mrfabroa closed 2 years ago

mrfabroa commented 2 years ago

When working in Python mode (EV3Dev or Pybricks), the color sensor does not work and always returns 1 (Black) when calling the color function (color_sensor_in3.color()). As shown in the screen shot, the color sensor of the simulator is correct (reading red), however the evaluation of the color from the code is still black (1).

while True:
    print(color_sensor_in3.color())

You're reading the color sensor on port 3. That color sensor looks like it's pointing forward; there's nothing reflecting light back, so it shows Black.

If you look at your screenshot, the color sensor on port 3 is showing Black, while the color sensor on port 1 is Red.

🤦🏽‍♂️ wow, I totally looked over the fact that I had a second color sensor on there. My bad
