LabVIEW for LEGO MINDSTORMS and LabVIEW for Education

[Haneetha]

I want to calculate the distance traveled by the robot. In my program robot is going to execute some task like moving forward, turning left or right. I want to find a way to measure the number of rotation made by my nxt. For which I saw a read rotation vi but I don't know where to connect it. Also I want to save the total number of rotation in the memory.
