sensors

lego mindstorms

Touch Sensor

The touch sensor is a small piece from the mindstorms kit and it acts as a button.

Color Sensor

The color sensor is a simple piece and is easy to program. It can detect if it is dark or light and the different colors too!

Infrared Sensor

The infrared sensor is not as small of a piece. It would usualy go on front or on top of your robot. It is made to see things so it dose not crash.

Ultrasonic sensor

This final sensor is made to send out mindstorm waves and then they will come back to send info to the mindstorms.

How to program

HOW TO PROGRAM

Start Block

Lego's start block is the starting for each program.

Wait Block

There is also a wait block that controls how long to wait in between each block. It can also make the sensors work.

Loop Block

This loop block is like a 'go forever' block. It repeats every
program inside of it.

Steering Block

The steering blocks are easy to use. They control the large motors.

Sound Block

The sound block is a block that will play a chosen sound.

Picture Block

the display block is just like a picture block.
