Lesson: Introduction to Data Logging - UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Printer-friendly version
Overview:
The goal of this lesson is to give students their first hands-on experience using the NXT as a Data Logger. This lesson uses the "Inquiry & Data Logging" video from the "Introduction" section of the "Science and Data Logging" product from Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Academy (featuring a temperature sensor). Students will run their first experiment using the NXT and the Data Logging software along with either the light, ultrasonic, or sound sensors.
Objectives:
In this lesson, students will begin with an idea for an experiment using the probes and then be able to:
- Open the data logging software on their laptops and find the new experiment setup box
- Select the probe and ensure it is attached to the correct port on the NXT in the setup box and on the NXT.
- Set up the duration and frequency of data to be collected.
- Run the experiment - both from the laptop and by downloading the experiment to the NXT and running it remotely.
- View and interpret the data and graphs of the results in the Data Logging software.
