While the image shows a black momentary pushbutton, you can use any colored button as long as it
is momentary pushbutton to cycle through the colors!
Troubleshooting
Light Not Turning On
The push button is square, and because of this it is easy to put it in the wrong way. Give it a 90-
degree twist and see if it starts working.
Underwhelmed
No worries; these circuits are all super stripped-down to make playing with the components easy,
but once you throw them together the sky is the limit.
Experiment 7: Reading the Temperature Sensor
Introduction
A temperature sensor is exactly what it sounds like — a sensor used to measure ambient
temperature. In this experiment you will add an external package of code to MakeCode that will
make using the temperature sensor easier and then put the sensor to good use… measuring the air
temperature.
