Using Third-Party Sensors with RobotC

When RobotC is first downloaded, it is configured to recognise only LEGO sensors. It is necessary to change this configuration to allow the use of third-party sensors (e.g. HiTechnic, MindSensors, Firgelli, et cetera). This can be done by:

Starting RobotC,
Selecting the Window menu heading and
Selecting the Menu Level setting of Expert.
Selecting the View menu and the Preferences/Detailed Preferences options; a window entitled "RobotC Preferences" will appear on the screen.
Select the NXT tab, and left-click in the four (or however many you need) boxes below the heading "Allowable 3rd Party Sensor Types".
Left-click on the "Apply" button,
Left-click on the "OK" button,
Choose the "File" menu heading and left-click on the "Exit" option.

This process is illustrated in the videos below. Note that some videos can be expanded to a full screen by clicking on or in the lower right-hand corner of the video screens.

or movie (wmv), video (mp4)

Your version of RobotC can now accept third-party sensors - good work!
