Chapter 4. Sensors and Control

In this chapter, we will have the robot respond to the environment using the sensors available in your kit. You will also take a reading from the sensor to display on both the EV3 brick and the computer screen. I will try to focus on information that is not already readily available in the EV3 help menus.

In this chapter, I will introduce:

  • Programming blocks for sensors
  • Official LEGO sensors such as:
    • Touch Sensors
    • Color Sensors
    • Motor rotation sensors
    • Gyro Sensors
    • Ultrasonic motion sensors
    • Infrared Sensors
  • Third-party sensors such as:
    • Dexter industries
    • Mindsensors
    • HiTechnic
    • Tetrix
    • Matrix
    • Vernier
