Rechargeable Battery—Ready When You Are
The robust rechargeable battery offers long battery life and provides always-ready operation when using the sensor wirelessly. Monitor battery life directly from our award-winning Vernier Graphical Analysis® app, as well as LabQuest® 3. Should the battery run low, simply connect the sensor to the charging cable and keep on collecting—no interruptions or inconvenience to you or your students.
Wireless or Wired—The Flexibility to Choose
Our Go Direct sensors connect directly to your mobile device, Chromebook™, or computer using our Vernier Graphical Analysis® app—no additional equipment or software purchases are necessary. Go Direct sensors can be used wired via USB or wirelessly via Bluetooth® wireless technology, allowing you to choose the best solution for your classroom or laboratory.

Connectivity to Chromebooks, Computers, iPad® tablets, and Mobile Devices
Students can share real-time data with multiple devices for a truly hands-on, collaborative learning experience. Use LabQuest 3 to transfer data wirelessly to computers, Chromebooks, or mobile devices running Graphical Analysis™.
USB Sensor Interface
If you want to use your own computer or Chromebook™ to collect data, use LabQuest 3 as a conduit between our LabQuest sensors and these devices. LabQuest 3 works as a USB sensor interface with our Logger Pro® software or Graphical Analysis app.

The Motion Detector uses ultrasound to measure the position of carts, balls, people, and other objects.
Measure objects as close as 15 cm and as far away as 6 m.
Sensitivity switch reduces noise and produces higher quality data for studying dynamics carts on tracks.
Attaches easily to the Vernier Dynamics System.
Pivoting head allows for flexibility in the experiment setup.
You may also want to purchase the Motion Detector Clamp to attach the Motion Detector to a variety of objects such as table tops, ring stands, etc.

Using Go Direct Photogate, students are able to easily and accurately measure velocity and acceleration to study the movement of an object in free fall, rolling objects, collisions, and pendulums, without needing to know anything about the geometry of the object.
Go Direct Photogate also includes a single laser gate for use with objects passing outside of the arms of the sensor. Using the laser gate requires a visible-light pen laser (not included).
Go Direct Photogate can be used in a variety of experiments:
- Measuring acceleration of a cart on an incline using a cart picket fence
- Measuring the angular motion of a wheel as it is turning
- Investigating Newton’s second law using a half-Atwood machine to measure acceleration
- Determining the time an object passes one or more gates
