2. Tests

The first step on our list of tasks was to get a profound understanding of NXT's sensors and motors. Of primary interest was the ultrasonic sensor being the only one using digital communication with its own built-in micro-controller. Despite its generally high accuracy, the sensor seems to have some weak points when measuring certain distances. The remaining sensors were tested as well, although not as extensively as the ultrasonic, the results are shown in the following subsections. In the end we took a closer look a the revised motors, now including rotation sensors.

Following Parts of the NXT kit have been tested as part of the semester thesis:
  - Ultrasonic sensor
  - Light sensor
  - Touch sensor
  - Motors
