Ticket #36 (closed feature request: wontfix)

The HiTechnic prototype sensor board belongs into the category "3rd party sensors/devices". It is currently not supported, although it might be possible to use existing functions (such as ´GetLight?´ or ´GetUltrasonic?´) to interface with it (sometimes such a compatibility mode is provided for LEGO devices). Check the manual and HiTechnic support documents.

If you can access the prototype board via I²C functions (or even via analog sensor data), you can implement your own interface. Have a look at other I²C functions like ´OpenUltrasonic?´ and ´GetUltrasonic?´, or ´COM_ReadI2C´. For analog sensors, ´NXT_GetInputValues´ is the correct function.

Please let us know what you achieve and if your files could be useful for the toolbox…

Here's the documentation site of the prototype board:  http://www.hitechnic.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=NPS1055

It lists all necessary I2C registers for you. Open the port using

NXT_SetInputMode(port, 'LOWSPEED_9V', 'RAWMODE', 'dontreply', handle);

and then retrieve the data you need with COM_ReadI2C.

If there are any news on this subject, please let us know!

Apparently no new development on this, closing the ticket.
