Ultrasonic Sensor

An Ultrasonic Sensor uses ultrasonic sound to detect the range of an object in which the sound wave is directed towards.

Read Range (cm)

This block returns the distance in centimeters (cm) that the Ultrasonic Sensor detects a object to be.

  • Trigger Pin - Is the pin used to activate the ultrasonic ping on the sensor.
  • Echo Pin - Is the pin which detects / returns the result of the ultrasonic ping. Basically, the distance detected.

DHT11

The DHT11 is a sensor used to measure temperature and humidity.

Get Temperature

Returns the temperature (in ?) detected by the DHT11 sensor.

  • Pin # - The pin number that the DHT11 is attached to.

Get Humidity

Returns the humidity (in ?) detected by the DHT11 sensor.

  • Pin # - The pin number that the DHT11 is attached to.
