Bring MINDSTORMS EV3 into your high school classroom with hands-on lesson plans, software downloads, teaching resources, building instructions and FAQs.

Move Straight With Gyro Introduction . Rotating using a wheel is not precise. The wheel can slip or the motors can be slightly different. With the help of the gyro you can detect and correct deviations in your trajectory. EV3 Driving Base; EV3 Driving Base with Gyro; Step 1 Calibration

Realize which factors might affect the stopping precision when using a Gyro Sensor (sensor tolerance, motor slack, and the rotational momentum). Connect ( 5 minutes )

Jul 1, 2014 · This tutorial will show you how to build and program a self-balancing LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 robot that can drive around a room. You can build and program BALANC3R (left) or Gyro Boy (right). Once your robot is up and running, you’ll be challenged to customize the construction and program to invent your own self-balancing robot.

This video will explain how to make your LEGO Mindstorms drive practically straight using the Gyro Sensor.

Learn what the Gyro Sensor does 2. Learn about 2 common problems with using the gyro sensor (drift and lag) 3. Learn what “drift” means 4. Learn how to correct for drift with a gyro “calibration” technique 5. Understand why it is important to consider multiple …

Today's video teaches an essential skill for anyone building an FLL robot; how to program your EV3 robot to make 90 degree turns using the EV3 gyro sensor. I also show you a method for...

STEP 1: Create a simple Gyro Turn program that turns 90 degrees using the Wait for Gyro block in Change Mode Remember to Calibrate the Gyro before the Wait For Block (see Gyro Lesson for help) STEP 2: Compensate for Lag A. Compensate for the lag by reducing the amount of angle to turn based on your robot (e.g 86 degrees instead of 90 degrees)

This original version of the lesson works for older Gyro sensors (N2 or N3 codes). If you are using a newer version of the Gyro sensor (N4 and above codes) you will need to also review the Gyro Sensor Revisited updates to this lesson (PowerPoint and pdf from 8/12/17 attched below).
