| − | Largely a work in-progress, please add/edit as you learn the details. Note that this page is documenting the NXT-Python v1.1 release (http://code.google.com/p/nxt-python/), not the NXT_Python v0.7 release which appears to have gone dormant (note hyphen vs underscore).

| − | === nxt.locator === | + | == Software Stack == |
| − | The function of this module is to locate NXT brick(s). Returns an <code>nxt.bluesock.BlueSock</code> object for robots connected by Bluetooth and a <code>nxt.usbsock.USBSock</code> object for robot connected by USB, and throws <code>nxt.locator.BrickNotFoundError</code> if none can be found.

| − | **UltrasonicSensor
| |
| − | The compass sensor is a digital sensor, and, albeit clumsily, can be interfaced as if it were another digital sensor, like the Ultrasonic sensor.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Methods
| |
| − | **UltrasonicSensor(bot,port)
| |
| − | **get_sample() returns a value between zero and 180 depending on the heading of the sensor. There is a one-to-two ratio between degrees from due North and get_sample() values.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Example | |
| − | compass = UltrasonicSensor(bot, PORT_1) #declare the sensor plugged into port 1 "compass"
| |
| − | heading = compass.get_sample()*2 # get the current heading in degrees from due north
