The temperature sensor

The Finch Temperature method returns the current temperature at the temperature probe

Notice where the temperature probe is located

Type in a program to use the temperature probe as a meter to determine the current temperature in the room and then detect when it rises.

1. Start with a blue beak light that changes to red when the temperature rises 2 degrees.
2. Beep each time the temperature is checked
3. Display the current temperature as the program runs
4. Beep 3 times when the temperature has risen 2 degrees and the beak is red.

First, in the orange variables section: (the variables will show up on the screen)

• Make a variable start
• Make a variable temp

Enter this code

• set start to Finch Temperature Fahrenheit
• set temp to Finch Temperature Fahrenheit
• Set the Finch's beak to blue
• repeat until temp > start + 2
  
  • set temp to Finch Temperature Fahrenheit
  • Finch buzz 440 Hz 50 mSec
  • wait 0.5 sec
• set beak to red
• do 3 beeps

Demonstrate your program, then change it so that the beak starts out red and turns blue when the temperature drops 2 degrees.
