For the EV3 brick, you can do it by using the Color sensor block and when using the NXT brick <em>you can use the Light sensor with the Sound sensor block<\/em>! You can even select between reflect and ambient light modes! Select dB for reflected light (LED on) and dBa for ambient light (LED off).<\/p>\n<h2>See also<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/legoeng.local\/using-ev3-software-to-run-the-nxt\/\">Using EV3 software to run the NXT<\/a> (Barbara Bratzel)<\/li>\n<li>External link: <a href=\"http:\/\/robotsquare.com\/2013\/07\/16\/ev3-nxt-compatibility\/\">EV3 and NXT: Difference and Compatibility<\/a> (Laurens Valk)<\/li>\n<li>External link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.damienkee.com\/home\/2013\/1\/9\/ev3-vs-nxt-the-educators-dilemma.html\">EV3 vs NXT: The Educators Dilemma<\/a> (Damien Kee)<\/li>\n<li>External link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.intorobotics.com\/sensors-lego-mindstorms-ev3-features-comparison\/\">Sensors for LEGO Mindstorms EV3: Features and Comparison<\/a> (Dragos George Calin)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a summary of the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Software with the NXT brick and associated hardware.
