Introduction The Dexter Industries Inertial Motion Unit (IMU) Sensor measures acceleration, tilt, and rotation on all three axes.  The sensor combines an accelerometer and a gyroscope into one sensor for the LEGO Mindstorms system.  Build robots that know which way is up, can measure tilt, balance themselves, and measure acceleration and rotation on all axes all at once. Accelerometer:...

Introduction The Dexter Industries Thermal Infrared Sensor reads surface temperatures of objects.  It is a non-contact thermometer based on the MLX90614.  Detecting the infrared radiation from an object, the sensor can read object temperatures between -90°F and 700°F (-70°C and +380°C).  The sensor has a high accuracy of 0.5°C and a resolution of 0.02°C. The Thermal Infrared Sensor reads...
