Seismograph Lesson

Build a seismograph with household materials

Topic

Acceleration & Analog Read Pin

Prior learning/place of lesson in scheme of work

Learn how to show LEDs to turn on a LED light pattern on the LED screen. We will be learning basic comments such as show LEDs and pause.

Documentation

basic.forever(() => {
});
led.plotBarGraph(input.acceleration(Dimension.Strength) - 1023, 0);
led.plotBarGraph(pins.analogReadPin(AnalogPin.P0), 0);

Objectives

  • learn how to repeat code forever in the background
  • learn how to display a vertical bar graph based on the value.
  • learn how to return the sum of the two numbers
  • learn how to get acceleration value in milli-gravitys
  • learn how to read the connector value as analog as a value comprised between 0 and 1023
