Kitty Code Programing Challenge

Make a Thermometer With Your micro:bit

Program your micro:bit so you can use it as a thermometer. Every computer processor is equipped with a digital temperature sensing device. Computers need it to monitor their temperatures. You can utilize the micro:bit's temperature sensor to read the temperature of the surrounding environment!

1 - Start a new project in MakeCode

Go to "MakeCode.microbit.org" to start a new project by clicking the new project icon above. Click the purple plus box labeled "New Project" to begin.

2 - Program the radio's channel

You need to get one micro:bit to talk to the other, so choose a channel number for them to communicate on. Choose a unique channel number for your group (1-256).

Try these blocks:

3 - Display temp in Fahrenheit

Program your micro:bit to display the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. The micro:bit will only give you Celsius. What should you do? Use mathematical functions to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit. But beware, computers are so good at doing math that you will get answers with up to 9 decimal places! So, you will want to tell the computer to round its answers to the nearest whole number. Try creating this using the blocks below:
