NXT Sensor Adapter

Get ready to supercharge your LEGO NXT projects. This fall we will be offering an NXT Sensor Adapter. Now you can create NXT robotic projects using over 40 of our analog sensors, including accelerometers, pH, Current, UV, Gas Pressure, Soil Moisture, Voltage, and Force sensors, to name just a few.

NXT Sensor Adapter

Not only does the NXT Sensor Adapter open up a whole new world of control projects, it creates a new, fun way to introduce standard science concepts. Some examples of the robots that we have created with our sensors include:

  • A robot that hunts down an acidic solution with a pH sensor.
  • A robot that ventures out into the sun with a UV sensor to find the best sunscreen.
  • A robot that waters house plants when a Soil Moisture Sensor reading dips too low.

We are very excited about the endless possibilities for incorporating science, control, and engineering into your NXT projects using this new interface and Vernier sensors. For more information go to www.vernier.com/nxt or to http://engineering.vernier.com
