Micro:bit Thermometer by 3DMate

Description

Micro:bit Thermometer This is a small thermometer made with a temperature sensor linked to your micro:bit. In this tutorial you will learn how to make an analogue measuring device, I mean convert the sensor voltage to a degree Celsius temperature. Things you will need: • A 3D printer • 1 micro:bit device and battery pack • Filament (plastic) for your 3D printer • 1 temperature sensor : TMP36 • Banana cable Step 1: Printing Parts · To obtain the 3D files push the download button on this page ! · Next you will have to slice the parts: that means generate a code, representative of your 3D part which your printer will be able to understand. This action is called "slicing" because your printer prints the part layer by layer, so you need to slice your object into many digital layers. You will need to use the right slicer for your 3D printer, ask your teacher if you need help with this! · The most important setting for the printer is the temperature of the nozzle, which will depend on the type of filament you use, the speed, the infill, the layer height, and whether you need support or not will also need to be considered. · Print the thermometer with a regular filament, 20% infill and 0.2mm layer height. It's better to print it with support but if you have a printer with a filament cooling fan then it will work without support. Export your code to your SD card and take it over to the printer! J Step 2: Flash your micro:bit You can find the code here · Vpin represents the voltage…
