Temperature Sensor¶
Description |
Can read a raw value of the temperature. Requires some calibration to provide a specific temperature value in C or F. |
Usage |
Reads a raw analog temperature. With micro:bit ADC input this would range from 0 to 1023. |
Voltage Range |
2.7 - 5.5V |
Interface Type |
Analog Input |
Example Usage |
from microbit import *
def convert_temp_to_c(raw_temp):
# ((max mV / 1023) * raw temp - 500 mV) / 10 deg per mV
return 0.3167 * raw_temp - 50
while True:
temp_val = pin0.read_analog()
degrees_c = convert_temp_to_c(temp_val)
# ...do something with degrees_c
