Chapter 9 and 10: Feedback and Wait for it!

Our homework of the long weekend was to read and blog about chapter 9 and 10.
The two previous classes we were working with the sound sensors, recording the vales that came up on the NXT from the sound sensor, of the different beeps that we heard. After we completed the tasks we had to graph our results in a Google doc the Google docs aren’t bad the only thing is that the internet is so slow here it slows us down sometimes when using them.
Chapter 9 was about configuring sensors, some of the sensors that were talked about were the NXT touch, RIS Touch, NXT sound, NXT light, RIS light.
The first sensors are going to detect the change in a condition. The types of conditions very it can change form light sound and more. Second sensors blocks are only able to do one condition at a time
The sound sensor is a sensor that detects sound, the light sensor is a sensor that detects light, the ultrasonic sensor can detect how far something is, and the rotation sensor is the number of rotation that is in the program.
The next chapter we talked about the wait block how to program it and all. There is also the time wait block the wait blocks are one of the most important things in the program that you will use, I also learned this the hard way when we did the last challenge I forgot to use a wait block and it messed my robot up when trying to run the program it didn’t do what I wanted one wheal would go then the other they both had to go at the same time though. You are going to use this blocks for the values of the robot its distance and everything.
