Odometer or distance

Richard_Campbell · April 20, 2021, 2:22pm

A student group in my class is trying to design an app that requires an odometer or distance tracking sensor. We are unable to locate one in sensors palette drawer. Can anybody suggest where to find one or what we can use to code one into existence?

Hi @Richard_Campbell Welcome,
There is no built-in component like that but related one Pedometer Sensor component is available.

Try both of these:

Hi Richard

Distance traveled? Perhaps you could use the LocationSensor or Map component. Both can be used to determine distance driven or distance you are from any location greater than about two meters.

If the student is old enough to drive, they can investigate ODBII odometer calculation.
