Exploring the EV3 Gyro Sensor

What is the primary function of the Gyro Sensor in the Lego Mindstorms EV3 Robot?

• To measure distance

• To detect light intensity

• To measure rotational motion and orientation

• To sense touch

Which unit does the Gyro Sensor use to measure angles?

• Meters

• Degrees

• Lumens

• Newtons

In programming the Gyro Sensor, which block is used in the EV3 software to read the angle?

• Move Steering Block

• Sound Block

• Gyro Sensor Block

• Color Sensor Block

What is a common application of the Gyro Sensor in robotics?

• Detecting colors

• Balancing robots

• Measuring temperature

• Calculating speed

If the Gyro Sensor is not providing accurate readings, what is one troubleshooting step you can take?

• Replace the sensor with a touch sensor

• Recalibrate the sensor

• Increase the robot's speed

• Change the robot's color

How can the Gyro Sensor be used to make a robot turn precisely?

• By measuring the distance traveled

• By detecting the color of the floor

• By measuring the angle of rotation

• By sensing the temperature

What is the maximum angle range that the Gyro Sensor can measure?

• 0 to 90 degrees

• 0 to 180 degrees

• 0 to 360 degrees

• 0 to 720 degrees

Which of the following is NOT a feature of the Gyro Sensor?

In a program, how can you reset the Gyro Sensor to zero?

• By turning off the robot

• By using the reset block in the EV3 software

• By changing the sensor's port

• By removing the sensor

What is the effect of sensor drift in the Gyro Sensor?

• It causes the sensor to measure light intensity

• It results in inaccurate angle measurements over time

• It makes the sensor detect sound

• It improves the sensor's accuracy
