Join Olivia Stone for an in-depth discussion in this video Motors and sensors, part of Lego Mindstorms: Open the Box. - [Voiceover] The motors and sensors in the EV3 kit…help your robot interact with the world around it.…
To help your robot move around,…the Mindstorm's EV3 kit…comes with two types of motors,…a large motor and a medium motor.…Both motors have a built in rotation sensor…that can tell me to the degree, its position…which helps with precise control.…The large motor is a stronger but slower motor…that can run at 160 to 170 RPM.… This is designed to be used to drive a robot around.…The medium motor is a less powerful…but faster motor…that can run at 240 to 250 RPM.…It can respond more quickly than the large motor…and usually used to move a part of a robot…such as an arm.…Moving your robot around…without any sensor feedback…is like driving with your eyes closed.…My robot needs sensors to get feedback…about its environment…so it can move around more intelligently…and avoid running into things.… The Mindstorm's EV3 kit…comes with three sensors…that provide different ways to get information…about my robot's surroundings.…The color sensor is used to detect colors…
The next generation is ready to play. LEGO Mindstorms is a robotics kit designed for all experimenters—not just kids. Its advanced programming capabilities and robust hardware—sensors, motors, and intelligent EV3 brick—make LEGO Mindstorms a fun and challenging microcomputer system for programmers and tinkerers of any age. In this course, Olivia Chiu helps you "open the box" and build your first functional robot with LEGO Mindstorms. Learn how to unpack the hardware, connect to the programming interface, run prebuilt programs, and control the motors and sensors. Chapter 6, "Adding Flow to a Program," covers advanced programming topics such as transferring data between blocks, using variables to store temporary data, programming conditional logic, and looping actions to run again and again. By the end of the course, you'll have the skills to bring your own robotic creations to life. Installing the LEGO Mindstorms software Exploring the programming interface Connecting to the EV3 brick

This video-based handbook will introduce and explore each component of the LEGO EV3 MINDSTORMS kit, and provide some strategies/techniques that should help you create EV3 robots more effectively. This video describes the components of the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Core Set. An introduction to using the move block to control motors on the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3. This video explains the basics of datalogging with the experiment feature in the LEGO Mindstorms Education EV3 software. This video explains the basics of motor control with the motor rotation block in the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 software by creating a pedometer. Light Sensor and Programming with Motors In this LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 example, a switch block is used to turn the motor on and off based on ambient light. In this LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 example, the ultrasonic, loop and motor blocks are used to program a robot that moves forward until an object is detected. The LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 robot, in this example, uses the switch block with the touch sensor to move forward or backward depending on the button's state.
