This chapter will introduce you to methods that you can use to read sensor data from a number of sensors that come onboard with Adafruit Circuit Playground Express. We will cover the temperature and light sensors, as well as the motion sensor, and you will also learn how to make the board react to sensor events, such as the board being shaken or the light levels changing. Having access to this rich sensor data can make all sorts of projects possible. For example, you could make a project that makes an alarm beep if the detected temperature has exceeded a certain level. By learning how to read and process this sensor data, you can make a wide array of embedded projects a reality.
In this chapter, we will be covering the following topics:
- Circuit Playground Express sensors
- Reading temperature readings
- Reading brightness levels from the light sensor
- Creating...
