Calculating the Accuracy and Precision of an Ultrasonic Sensor

This exercise is intended to help students to understand the difference between accuracy and precision by means of performing multiple measures of distances by using the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Ultrasonic Sensor. In addition, the students should understand in which data format the measurements are recorded, stored and transfered between the sensor and the computer.
