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

- Dexter industries
- Mindsensors
- HiTechnic
- Tetrix
- Matrix
- Vernier
