What is the official name of this new Lego sensor?
What is a color sensor?
A color sensor is a type of "photoelectric sensor" which emits light from a transmitter, and then detects the light reflected back from the detection object with a receiver.
What does the ultrasonic sensor do EV3?
The digital EV3 Ultrasonic Sensor generates sound waves and reads their echoes to detect and measure distance from objects. It can also send single sound waves to work as sonar or listen for a sound wave that triggers the start of a program. ... Measures distances between one and 250 cm (one to 100 in.)
What is ultrasonic distance sensor?
An ultrasonic sensor is an electronic device that measures the distance of a target object by emitting ultrasonic sound waves, and converts the reflected sound into an electrical signal. Ultrasonic waves travel faster than the speed of audible sound (i.e. the sound that humans can hear).Oct 7, 2019
Is Mindstorms discontinued?
LEGO Education will discontinue the entire LEGO Mindstorms Education EV3 product line on June, 30 2021. In FIRST LEGO League, the use is of course still allowed, as well as other Mindstorms models and Spike Prime.Feb 3, 2021
What is replacing Lego Mindstorms?
Today, the LEGO Group has announced 51515 Robot Inventor, replacing the EV3 set, 31313, after 7 years. Based around the same hub as the Spike Prime ducational system (set 34567) . While Spike Prime is set to remain aimed at the classroom environment, the new Mindstorms Robot Inventor is much more a consumer set.Jun 12, 2020
What does the Gyro Sensor do EV3?
The digital EV3 Gyro Sensor measures the robot's rotational motion and changes in its orientation. Students can measure angles, create balancing robots, and explore the technology that powers a variety of real-world tools such as Segway®, navigation systems, and game controllers.
How does Lego Gyro Sensor work?
The Gyro Sensor is a digital sensor that detects rotational motion on a single axis. If you rotate the Gyro Sensor in the direction of the arrows on the case of the sensor, the sensor can detect the rate of rotation in degrees per second.
How does the EV3 ultrasonic sensor work?
- The digital EV3 Ultrasonic Sensor generates sound waves and reads their echoes to detect and measure distance from objects.
What sensors do I get with each kit?
- The selection of sensors you get with each kit is slightly different. For example, the Home Edition set includes an Infrared Sensor and an Infrared Beacon, while the Education Core set comes with an Ultrasonic Sensor and a Gyroscopic sensor.

What is the range of the ultrasonic sensor?What is the range of the ultrasonic sensor?
Presentation Outline (Slides 1-19) The ultrasonic sensor can measure distances in centimeters and inches. It can measure from 0 to 2.5 meters, with a precision of 3 cm. It provides good readings in sensing large-sized objects with hard surfaces, but has more difficulties reading reflections from soft, curved, thin or small objects.
