Troubleshooting
Temperature Value is Unchanging
Try pinching the sensor with your fingers to heat it up or pressing a bag of ice against it to cool it
down.
Temperature Sensor is Really Hot!
You have wired it backward! Unplug your micro:bit immediately, let the sensor cool down, and
double-check your wiring. If you catch it soon enough, your sensor may not have been damaged and
may still work.
Experiment 8: Using a Servo Motor
Introduction
This experiment is your introduction to the servo motor, which is a smart motor that you can tell to
rotate to a specific angular location. You will program it to rotate to a series of locations, then sweep
across its full range of motion, and then repeat.
Parts Needed
You will need the following parts:
1x
micro:bit
