Turtle Art with Sensors
==Turtle Art with Sensors==
Introduction
===Introduction===
Sensors are used to measure the temperature, soil moisture, water salinity, AC/DC amps, etc. Sensors also have different modes. Some of the modes include, voltage mode, resistance mode, pitch mode etc. Sensors are used to build interesting things some examples are carbon microphones, doorbells/ burglar alarms, photovoltaic panels, etc. Sensors are also used to connect to microscopes, telescopes, and many, many more things. All these sensors can be accessed through Turtle Art.
