NXT Rotation Sensor Built in to motors Measure degrees
or rotations Reads + and - Degrees:
accuracy +/- 1 1 rotation =
360 degrees
Viewing Sensors Connect sensor Turn on NXT Choose “View” Select sensor type Select port
NXT Sound Sensor Sound sensor can measure in dB and dBA
dB: in detecting standard [unadjusted] decibels, all sounds are measured with equal sensitivity. Thus, these sounds may include some that are too high or too low for the human ear to hear.
dBA: in detecting adjusted decibels, the sensitivity of the sensor is adapted to the sensitivity of the human ear. In other words, these are the sounds that your ears are able to hear.
Sound Sensor readings on the NXT are displayed in percent [%]. The lower the percent the quieter the sound.

Challenge: Stop with sound Program your NXT car to drive until you
yell “Stop”
Example Program: Remote Control
NXT Sound NXT can play sound files or notes Sounds take up more memory space
NXT Display Display images, text, or drawings Choose location on display screen 100 x 64 pixels (up to 7 lines of text) Graphics take up memory space
Challenge: Say Hello Have the RCX say hello using sound
and the display screen Don’t forget – the program ends after
the last block. You may need a wait for to see the display.
Caution: one of the options in the configuration panel is Clear – use it to clear screen. Otherwise, uncheck the box!
