ABW IR Sensor Ring for LEGO® SPIKE™ Prime
A ring of 12 infrared receivers that tells your robot which direction the RoboCup Junior Soccer ball is in, and how strong its signal is, all the way around the robot. Designed, assembled and tested in Brisbane by former RoboCup competitors.
How it works: plug the IR Sensor Ring into any port on your SPIKE Prime hub. It shows up as a colour sensor, and the ball data comes through on the red, green and blue channels:
| Channel | Reading | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Simple direction (which of the 12 receivers sees the ball) | 1–12 (0 = no ball) |
| Green | Signal strength | 0–100 |
| Blue | Advanced direction | 0–360° |
