The Robot Inventor comes with several sensors that connect to the Hub, as well as a built-in one: the Motion Sensor, which is found inside the Hub’s enclosure. This chapter will explore the capability of the Motion Sensor for tilt angle, orientation, gyro rate, and acceleration. A feature of the Hub will be described for triggering sound, with control of sound through motion data. The chapter summary project combines sensor data with motor action into a machine that always points up, regardless of the tilt angle.
