• Is there a way to connect my CO2 sensor to an NXT ...

  Connect the BB-BTA to the NXT adapter. Connect the CO2 sensor to the BTA-ELV. Launch the NXT software. After installing the Vernier Sensor Block, start a new project in the NXT Programming software. Drag and drop the Vernier Sensor Block into the programming environment. In the configuration window there is a control to select the Vernier Sensor.

• Why are certain sensors not able to work with the NXT ...

  The answer depends on the sensor: First of all, only sensors with the BTA connector can work with this adapter. This eliminates all the BTD, Bluetooth, and USB sensors. One of the limitations of the NXT, at least when it is used with MINDSTORMS, is that it cannot sample faster than a few samples a second.
