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.

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.
