VEX Robotics is a robotics platform used by Project Lead the Way (PLTW) and some other engineering education curricula. Additionally, VEX has a popular robotics competition.

VEX EDR:
With some hardware and software work, you can use our sensors with the VEX Cortez microcontroller, included in the VEX EDR system.

Connecting the hardware is straight forward, but will likely require some soldering/breadboarding. You need to make the following connections between one of the eight Cortex analog inputs and a Vernier analog sensor (pinout):
* Cortex outside pin (closest to the edge) — Vernier sensor pin 2 (ground)
* Cortex middle pin — Vernier sensor pin 5 (5 V power)
* Cortex inside pin (furthest from controller edge) — Vernier sensor pin 6 (sensor output line)

In software, you’ll need to read in the sensor’s output voltage and convert it into a sensor reading, the the calibration equation found in its user manual.

VEX IQ:
We have not had any success connecting our analog sensors to the VEX IQ microcontroller. We were able to connect our photogate, taking the place of a digital switch.
