a) Download and import the "Legacy Sensor Block Library" from LEGO (or ask me) to get the blocks for the old RCX sensors (Converter Cables are needed)
b) These are the standard blocks of the NXT software (temperature sensor available in NXT 2.1.0 only, software seems to be free now)
c) New EV3 sensors are not supported by the NXT system and software, but motors are supported!
d) Download the third-party blocks from the websites of the manufacturers (or ask me)
