public class EV3IRSensor
extends BaseSensor

EV3 Infra Red sensors
The digital EV3 Infrared Seeking Sensor detects proximity to the robot and reads signals emitted by the EV3 Infrared Beacon. The sensors can alse be used as a receiver for a Lego Ev3 IR remote control. EV3 Infra Red sensors
The sensors can be used as a receiver for up to four Lego Ev3 IR remote controls using the methods. See Sensor Product page See The leJOS sensors framework See leJOS conventions for SampleProviders

public SensorMode getDistanceMode()

EV3 Infra Red sensors, Distance mode
Measures the distance to an object in front of the sensors.

Size and content of the sample
The sample contains one element giving the distance to an object in front of the sensors. The distance provided is very roughly equivalent to meters but needs conversion to give better distance. See product page for details.
The effective range of the sensors in Distance mode is about 5 to 50 centimeters. Outside this range a zero is returned for low values and positive infinity for high values.

Returns:

A sampleProvider See leJOS conventions for SampleProviders See Sensor Product page
