NXT Sensor Adapter
Recommended for College, High School, and K–8.
Enhance your LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT and LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 robots with over 30 Vernier sensors using the NXT Sensor Adapter.
The Vernier NXT Sensor Adapter allows Vernier sensors to work on the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT and EV3 robotics system. There are over 30 sensors for measuring everything from temperature, force, light level, UV level, pH, and more.
- Connect over 30 Vernier analog (BTA) sensors to the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT and EV3 Robotics Systems
- Create sensor-based control systems
- Use with LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT, LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3, NI LabVIEW, or ROBOLAB software
Software for NXT Sensor Adapter
MINDSTORMS Software
To use the Vernier NXT Sensor Adapter with LEGO® MINDSTORMS® software, you need the Vernier Sensor block. We have developed a sensor block for NXT and EV3 versions.
National Instruments LabVIEW
We have created a NI LabVIEW virtual instrument that allows you to program your NXT robot and Vernier NXT Sensor Adapter to use Vernier sensors directly with LabVIEW.
