Inherits

You are probably not using the base class for robot development. Here's a list of sensors that the library supports:

Library support in http://www.ev3dev.org/docs/sensors/ are in heavy development. Only some of the sensors are properly implemented to the library. But all the basic sensors (EV3 original) are implemented according the language wrapper specification.

(TODO: Link to the sensor, tutorials)

Base class features

The base class inherits the Device class, and have a number of properties and functions.

Method	Property	Command	Description
getAddress()	address (SYSFS_PROPERTY_ADDRESS)		Get the address of the sensor
sendCommand(String command)	command (SYSFS_PROPERTY_COMMAND)		Sends a command specified to the sensor
getCommandsViaString()	commands (SYSFS_PROPERTY_COMMANDS)		Relieves a spaced-array of commands supported by the sensor
getCommands()	commands (SYSFS_PROPERTY_COMMANDS)		Relieves a String array of commands supported by the sensor
