CAMJAM EDUKIT-2 Sensors (Thermometer)

2 Sensors

Having visited the Egham Raspberry Jam on a few occasions I decided to see if my 9 year old would be interested in having a go at Python and using the EDU KIT and learning how to read the temperature from the thermometer and convert it to both C and F on the screen. 
Thermometer coding


This is the worksheet showing the circuit for the thermometer, the lights and buzzer are left on the board, but are not initially used or needed.

The above video shows the thermometer running and the output on the screen in C, holding it in my hands you can see the temp rise and then fall back to room temp
