Thermometer sensors are used to measure temperature in various environments. In robotics, these sensors can help robots detect and react to their surroundings, such as avoiding areas with high temperatures or maintaining a specific temperature range.
Thermometer sensors have numerous applications in robotics, including:
The microbit has a built-in temperature sensor that can be used to read the current temperature. To read the temperature, you can use the following code:
basic.showNumber(input.temperature())
This code will display the current temperature in Celsius on the microbit's LED matrix.
While thermometer sensors are useful in many applications, they have some limitations:
Despite these limitations, thermometer sensors remain an essential tool in many robotics projects.
