Programming the Hi Technic Force Sensor

[Cronus4304]

Our team has a great idea for integrating a force sensor into our robot, however we are not sure exactly where to locate the proper blocks in LabView. Does anyone have experience in LabView with force sensors?

[Alan Anderson]

If a sensor produces an analog voltage, connect it to the Analog Breakout and use the Analog Input functions to define and read it.

You're talking about the NXT Force Sensor (NFS1074), right? Its output is a voltage that represents the amount of force pushing on the sensor.

[Tommy F.]

''The Force Sensor is an analog sensor like the LEGO Light Sensor. Therefore the same way you read the LEGO Light Sensor can be used to read the Force Sensor value.''
