<p>EV3 Home edition software does not come with blocks for ultrasonic sensor, unlike Education edition. However you can still add them as explained in <a href="http://robotsquare.com/2014/06/25/tutorial-gyro-ultrasonic-sensor-ev3-home-edition/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this guide</a>.</p>

<p>I'll get straight to the point: When I open my LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Home Edition programmer and try to use an ultrasonic sensor, there is no option for it in any blocks. I don't even see any allusion to the ultrasonic sensor existing at all. Is there any way at all to use the US sensor AND the IR sensor at once? Thanks. </p>
