Turning the NXT into a data logger is easy because of its ability to collect, format, and record data from a variety of sensors. Data logging can be useful as part of a classroom science experiment that may have little or nothing to do with robotics or as a way to learn more about how the NXT sensors work. The VerifyLightPointer program contains all the steps you’ll need in a typical data-logging program. These include creating the data file, collecting the sensor data, writing the data to the file with a timestamp, and controlling the rate of the data collection.
