Measuring motor rotation

[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.

Hi,

Here are some resources that I found for you on the NI forums and help files:

I would recommend the Lego forums too:
