September 2005

Your school may not be Hogwarts, but you may be in school this time of year.
What kind of transportation took you to school?  A train?

See if you can tell if the train is at the station just by looking at the data.
 Send programs and get back data from SENSORSCITY
or teleoperate through the Red Rover site.
The directory with Example programs to use at SENSORSCITY are on
 http://SENSORSCITY.marshall.edu/CITY/pages/vi/
 Click and save a file that ends in .vi to your computer to use to send a mission.
The RoboLab Programs are the files that end in .vi and the .jpg are pictures of the programs.
 Note:   The traffic goes between the Lamp on port A which is across from the light sensor on port 1.
 Monorail motor is on port B and touch sensors on both ends of the track are on port 2.
Port C is the train.
Port 3 is a light sensor facing the train.
Send a program to the SENSORSCITY - See Instructions

You will get data back.  The green line dips at each time the traffic passes a light sensor.
The white line is the data back from the reflection from the train.
The red line steps up each time the touch sensor at an end of the monorail was touched.
