TechnicDistanceSensor

Ultrasound based distance sensor (originally part of Spike Prime and Mindstorms)

Type: External Sensor

Status: Well Defined (Exploration for extension interface)

Modes

Mode 0 - Long Range Distance (DISTL)

Complete range from 0 to 250cm. Everything above is set to 0 and not reporting changes.

Direction: Input

DataType: Int16 reprecenting cm (positive)

Notes

Mode 1 - Short Range Distance (DISTS)

Mode specialized on short range distance (faster scanning). Everything above 32cm is set to 0 and not reporting changes.

Direction: Input

DataType: Int16 reprecenting cm (positive)

Notes

Mode 2 - Single Value reported Distance (SINGL)

Reporting a single reported value when subscribed (no updates).

Direction: Input

DataType: Int16 reprecenting cm (positive)

Notes

Mode 3 - LISTN

TODO: Boolean flag (most likely for something like listen) TODO: Unclear Definition (most likely related to extension interface)

Direction: Input

DataType: SByte reprecenting a boolean value 0 or 1

Mode 4 - Raw Ultrasound Sensor Output (TRAW)

Reporting (most likely) the cycle time between ultrasound emission and receiving in uS.

Direction: Input

DataType: Int32 representing uS

Mode 5 - Eye Lights (LIGHT)

Reporting a single reported value when subscribed (no updates).

Direction: Output

DataType: 4 SByte with brightness values of 0-100. Byte order is left-top, right-top, left-bottom, right-bottom (seen from the front with Lego Logo readable)

Mode 6 - Ping

TODO: Unclear Definition (most likely related to extension interface)

Mode 7 - ADRAW

TODO: Unclear Definition (most likely related to extension interface)

Mode 8 - CALIB

TODO: Unclear Definition

Known Related Commands

  • WriteDirectModeDataMessage for Light

Supplementary Definitions

Extension interface on the adapter

The sensor has an electric interface allowing additional signals to be connected.

Open Questions

  • Why the SINGL query option? That is part of the protocol itself to query for updates or single value.
  • Defintion for the extension interface.
