Analog / Digital Sensor Adapter for LEGO EV3 (Attiny85 Version)

An adapter that allows LEGO EV3 to communicate with analog/digital sensors.

How it works?

As is well known, common analog/digital sensors cannot communicate directly with the LEGO EV3. Therefore, we use a microcontroller (MCU) to convert sensor information into LEGO UART format and then transmit the information to the EV3 host via the LEGO UART Protocol.

Wiring

Connect the power supply to the sensor and connect the signal pins of the sensor to pin S of the adapter.

Solutions

Button	Magnetic Switch	Tilt Sensor
Roation Sensor	Temperature Sensor	Light Sensor

⚠️ Supported sensors include, but are not limited to, the sensors mentioned above.

Functional descriptions

EV3 Port View

In the EV3 port view, the following three modes are available:

Analog	Digital	Up time (Debug)

EV3-G Block

Using the specialized block, you can retrieve the value of the sensor connected to the adapter. There are two modes available for the block:

Analog Read	Digital Read
