Hi! I wonder if anyone has a tutorial for the color sorter where you save the colors and where its going in a list and then sort it to different cups after all colors are scanned. (Like theexisting example/tutorial in Labview, but with makecode).

We haven’t migrated the color sorter yet. Here are some of the core set programs we built in the past: [https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-ev3/tree/master/docs/examples](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-ev3/tree/master/docs/examples) . Unfortunately I don’t have a color sorter at hand so I can translate the code but won’t be able to test it.

It would look like something like this: [https://makecode.com/\_gHrdKVHkLdwa](https://makecode.com/_gHrdKVHkLdwa) You’d probably want to break it all down in functions (or switch to JavaScript) to make easier to read.

Stupid question maybe, but theese are not supposed to be empty I presume…  
On button pressed - else if current color = color

Hi, I think this is what I have been looking for…

So is there a make code block /extension for an rgb colour sensor?

I am looking to incorporate the TCS34725 RGB Color Sensor within a project. Using make code.
