Yes, the encoder system is exactly the same for both the "old" green carts from our (discontinued) VDS-CART and the new plastic form Motion Encoder Cart (DTS-CART-MEC).
The exception is that the end cap itself is slightly different. You can attac...
If a Dual Range Force Sensor or Wireless Dynamics Sensor (WDSS) hits the floor, it is possible to shear off the hex bolt inside the load cell.
Our repairs team can usually fix this by grabbing the part that is sticking out with a vice grip and gi...
Yes. The Vernier Arduino® Interface Shield (BT-ARD), has two digital sensor ports. This allows for a Digital Control Unit (DCU-BTD), to be connected to each port, for a total of two DCUs.
When using the shield connected to a SparkFun® RedBoard w...
The DCU has a 3-pin connector to connect a servo motor. The DCU line used to control the servo is line 4. The DCU has internal electronics to only allow its 4th line to be turned on when the first three lines are off. You will need to add code to you...
There are many pieces involved in getting a program onto your Arduino board, and if any of them aren't right, the upload can fail. These include the drivers for the board, the board and serial port selections in the Arduino software, access to the se...
The screw used with the Drivetrain Set (KW-DS), to secure the hub to the drive train is a commonly found screw that can be purchased at most hardware stores.

If you are using our analog sensors connected to the Hummingbird with the Vernier BTA Sensor Adapter you can use any programming language supported by Hummingbird to program your robot. It appears that the most commonly used languages are Scratch and...
Essentially all of our analog sensors (those ending with -BTA) can be used with the Hummingbird. These will provide a voltage output that can be translated into a sensor reading.
We do not recommend using ion-selective electrode sensors, dissolved o...
Birdbrain Technologies sells an adapter to connect our analog sensors to one or more of the four sensor connections on the Hummingbird.
You can also use our Analog Protoboard Adapter (BTA-ELV) and a breadboard, using https://www.vernier.com/sup...
