# LEGO® Spike Hub and the Colour Sensor
A Python snippet utilizing the LEGO Spike colour sensor, [MicroPython](https://lego.github.io/MINDSTORMS-Robot-Inventor-hub-API/), and the `get_color()` and `wait_for_new_color()` commands.
## Sample Code
This code changes the hub colours based on the colour sensor data:
```py
from mindstorms import MSHub, ColorSensor
from mindstorms.control import wait_for_seconds
from mindstorms.operator import equal_to
import math
hub = MSHub()
color_sensor = ColorSensor('A')
while True:
color = color_sensor.get_color()
if equal_to(color, 'red'):
hub.status_light.on('red')
elif equal_to(color, 'green'):
hub.status_light.on('green')
elif equal_to(color, 'yellow'):
hub.status_light.on('yellow')
else:
hub.status_light.off()
print(color)
if hub.left_button.is_pressed() and hub.right_button.is_pressed():
break
color_sensor.wait_until_color('blue')
hub.status_light.on('blue')
wait_for_seconds(5)
hub.status_light.off()
hub.speaker.beep()
```
This code changes the light on the colour sennsor based on colour sensor data:
```py
from mindstorms import MSHub, Motor, MotorPair, ColorSensor, DistanceSensor, App
from mindstorms.control import wait_for_seconds, wait_until, Timer
from mindstorms.operator import greater_than, greater_than_or_equal_to, less_than, less_than_or_equal_to, equal_to, not_equal_to
import math
hub = MSHub()
color_sensor = ColorSensor('A')
counter = 0
while True:
if equal_to(counter % 3, 0):
color_sensor.light_up(100, 0, 0)
elif equal_to(counter % 3, 1):
color_sensor.light_up(0, 100, 0)
elif equal_to(counter % 3, 2):
color_sensor.light_up(0, 0, 100)
wait_for_seconds(0.1)
counter += 1
if hub.left_button.is_pressed() and hub.right_button.is_pressed():
color_sensor.light_up(0, 0, 0)
break
hub.speaker.beep()
```
