The Compass is the only one in the C++ library at the moment. I think there is a LabVIEW example for the Accelerometer that could be ported to C++. No Gyro, though. Don't have one.

All of the HiTechnic sensors should be pretty trivial to support... I just don't have any of them and no-one else has contributed drivers or hardware so far. Perhaps I'll dig around and try to find some of these devices in various NXT stashes that others have.
