Online Experiment 2 Temperature Sensors: Procedure: 1. Create An Account In: 2. Create This Circuit

This document provides instructions for an online experiment using a temperature sensor circuit in Tinkercad. Students are asked to: 1. Create a Tinkercad account and build a circuit with a temperature sensor and 220-ohm resistor. 2. Copy code to read the sensor temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit and light LEDs when thresholds are crossed. 3. Simulate the circuit and explain how it works to measure temperature and activate lights. Identify a real-world application. 4. Submit answers individually by the deadline, indicating groupmates.

// measure temperature in Celsius

celsius = map(((analogRead(A0) - 20) * 3.04), 0, 1023, -40, 125);

// convert to Fahrenheit

fahrenheit = ((celsius * 9) / 5 + 32);
