Lego Mindstorms Sensors

Today I teach you how to use the redesigned LEGO 51515 rotation sensor and show examples that are relevant to an FLL robot application.

Lego mindstorms sensors. Robot Commander is the official command app from LEGO MINDSTORMS. The Lego Mindstorms EV3 Touch sensor has a couple of applications in the world of robotics. LEGO should have offered compatible cables so that EV3 motors and sensors could be used with the new robot.

TOF distance sensor for Lego Mindstorms EV3 and NXT. This example can be extended to use the Arduino as a sensor for the NXT and to develop your own sensors for the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT system. Know which way is up.

- Program using Python Scratch or Blockly. Using the NXT Brick sold separately the Accelerometer Sensor lets your LEGO MINDSTORMS creation know which way is up and when your robot tilts left or right up or down or side to side. Build the robot and learn how to code using different programming languages.

The Touch Sensor gives your robot a sense of touch. - Control from Smartphone or Tablet no computer needed. Initiate program logic when its state changes ie.

Also it will be very interesting to see what LEGO Education does with Robot Inventor. The Touch Sensor detects when it is being pressed by something and when it is released again. A robotic arm equipped with a Touch Sensor lets the robot know whether or not there is something in its arm to grab.

Seven years after the release of the third generation of Mindstorms LEGO has today announced its replacement 51515 Robot Inventor which uses the same hub sensors and motors that were introduced with the educational Spike Prime set earlier this year. Touch Sensor Gyro Sensor Ultrasonic Sensor Colour Sensor Infrared Sensor Remote Control. This distance sensor for Lego Mindstorms EV3 and NXT uses TOF Time OF Flight technology.
