* query keyboard: check for keyboard input (results are stored in the keyboard block)
* keyboard: current value of keyboard input (can be used in place of a number block)
* read pixel: push the RGB value of the pixel under the turtle onto the FILO (blue is first, red is last)
* turtle sees: the "palette color" of the pixel under the turtle
* sound: raw data from microphone ranging -32000 to 32000
* volume: ranging 0 to 32000
* pitch: the resolution is +-8Hz
The OLPC XO can measure external inputs with its microphone jack:
* resistance: measurement range is 750 to 14k ohms, (OLPC XO1) and 2k ohms to open circuit (OLPC XO1.5)
* voltage: measurement range is DC 0.4V to 1.85V.  (OLPC XO1) and 0.17V to 3.0V (OLPC XO1.5)
See [[Activities/TurtleArt/Using Turtle Art Sensors]] for more details about the sensor blocks.
