+
+Calibrate the thresholds for dark and bright in current lighting conditions.
+
+```sig
+sensors.color1.calibrateLight(LightIntensityMode.Ambient, 0)
+```
+
+Sometimes when external lighting conditions change, the light sensor measures light intensty differently than when its thresholds were set before. You can calibrate the light sensor to adjust the thresholds slightly for current conditions. This is so that both the ``dark`` and ``bright`` threshold conditions happen with a similar amount of light to what you set the thresholds before.
+
+## Parameters
+
+* **mode**: the type of light threshold to calibrate. This is either ``ambient`` or ``reflected`` light.
+* **deviation**: a [number](/types/number) that is the amount of light level change to adjust in a measurement.
+
+## Example
+
+Calibrate the ``dark`` and ``light`` thresholds for the ``color 2`` sensor using reflected light.

+The light sensor adjusts itself to more accurately measure light depending on the source of the light. You decide if you want to measure _ambient_ light (light all around or direct light) or if you want to know how much light is reflected from a surface. The amount of light measured is in the range of `0` (darkest) to `100` (brightest).

+# set Threshold
+
+Set the threshold value for dark or bright light.
+
+```sig
+sensors.color1.setThreshold(LightCondition.Dark, 0)
+```
+
+Light intensity is measured from `0` (very dark) to `100` (very bright). You can decide what dark and bright mean for your purposes and set a _threshold_ for them. A threshold is a boundary or a limit. If you want a light intensity of `20` mean that it's dark, then you set the sensor threshold for ``dark`` to `20`. Also, if you think that `75` is bright, then you can set the threshold for ``bright`` to that.
+
+After setting a threshold, any event for that light condition won't happen until the amount of light reaches your threshold value:
+
+```block
+sensors.color1.setThreshold(LightCondition.Dark, 20)

+
+## Parameters
+
+* **condition**: the light intensity threshold to set, ``dark`` or ``bright``.
+* **value**: the value of light intensity for the threshold: `0` for very dark to `100` for very bright.
+
+## Example
+
+Make a daylight alarm. When the ambient light reaches `70` flash the status light and play a sound.

+
+Get a color that the sensor can detect that is close to the color you asked for.

+
+Since the color sensor can accurately detect some basic colors, you can't just tell it to look for any color. The sensor may recoginze some color component of the color you ask for. So, you can get a simple color that matches some of your color and tell the sensor to look for that.
+
+## Parameters
+
+* **color**: a color to match with a detectable color. The colors to choose from are:
+
+>* ``blue``
+>* ``green``
+>* ``yellow``
+>* ``red``
+>* ``white``
+>* ``brown``

+Currently, the colors you can ask for (input colors) and the colors returned are the same.

+# set Remote Channel
+
+Set the remote infrared signal channel for an infrared sensor.
+
+```sig
+sensors.infraredSensor1.setRemoteChannel(InfraredRemoteChannel.Ch0)
+```
+An infrared sensor connected to the @boardname@ can receive messages (signals for button events) from a remote infrared beacon. In order for the sensor to know which beacon to receive messages from, a _channel_ is used. The beacon has a switch on it to select a particular channel to transmit on. The sensor needs to know which channel to receive ("listen" for) messages from the beacon.
+
+A sensor is not automatically set to listen for infrared messages on a channel. To avoid confusion on which sensor receives signals from a beacon, each sensor (if you have more than one), sets a remote channel for itself. The channel number matches the channel selected on the beacon.
+
+## Parameters
+
+* **channel**: the channel for the infrared sensor to "listen" on. You can choose to use one of 4 channels: ``0``, ``1``, ``2``, and ``3``.
+
+## Example
+
+Select channel **2** on an infrared beacon. Set the remote channel for infrared sensor  ``infrared 3`` to channel ``2``. Wait for the ``center`` button press on the beacon using channel ``2``.
+
+```blocks
+sensors.infraredSensor3.setRemoteChannel(InfraredRemoteChannel.Ch2);
+sensors.remoteButtonCenter.pauseUntil(ButtonEvent.Pressed);

+
+Infrared sensors determine proximity of an object by measuring the intensity of the infrared light reflected from it. The proximity range of measurment is from `0` to `100`. You can decide what value in that range you want mean that something is near or that something was detected.
+
+If you want a proximity value of `32` to mean that a detected object is near, then the ``near`` threshold is set to that value. If you want any object within a proximity of `95` to cause a detection event, then the ``detected`` threshold is set to `95`.
+
+## Parameters

+* **condition**: the threshold condition to use this proximity. These are: ``near`` and ``detected``.
+* **value**: a proximity [number](/types/number) to set the threshold for.

+
+Whether something is near or far away really depends on the situation. A object moving towards you is "near" at further distance than something that isn't moving due to the time necessary to move out of its way. So, in certain situations you may want change which distances mean near or far.
+
+You can change the distances for near and far by setting their _thresholds_. A threshold is a boundary or a limit. If you wanted near to mean anything that's closer that 20 centimeters, then that is your threshold for ``near``. Also, if anything further than 35 centimeters is thought of as far, then the threshold for ``far`` is `35`.
