Color and Distance Sensor

[wagonracr]

Has anybody hacked a Lego Powered Up Color & Distance Sensor and used it with an Arduino? I have a few of them I would like to use on a Lego Automation for distance and later I would like to use the color function.

The protocol is nearly identical to EV3 UART sensors. It just has a few extra info packets that it sends. So this would probably be a good starting place: https://lejosnews.wordpress.com/2014/06/03/arduino-uart-sensors/

Thanks David, I will look at it and see if I can understand.
