Chapter 9. using the brick buttons and rotation sensors
In addition to the Touch, Color, and Infrared Sensors, the EV3 contains two types of built-in sensors: Brick Buttons and Rotation Sensors. You can use the Brick Buttons on the EV3 brick to control or influence a program while it’s running. For example, the program can ask you to press one of the buttons to choose what the robot should do next.
Each of the EV3 motors has a built-in Rotation Sensor that determines the position of the motor, allowing you to precisely control wheels or other mechanisms. The sensor also measures the motor speed, making it possible to detect when a motor is moving slower or faster than intended.
