Work with Pi Pico temperature sensors

We always knew Les Pounder was hot stuff, and he now he can prove it with a myriad of temperature sensors attached to his spare Pico.

YOU’LL NEED • Pi Pico or Pico W• DS18B20• TMP36• DHT11• 4.7K ohm resistor (yellow-purple-red-gold)• 3x M2M jumper wires• Breadboard• Get the code: https://bit.ly/lxf321 This month, we are looking at sensors that can measure temperature and humidity (in the case of the DHT11). We’ll be using MicroPython on a Raspberry Pi Pico, but you can also use a Raspberry Pi Pico W. The goal is to learn how these sensors work and how we can integrate them into our Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W builds. We’ll be using Thonny to write the project code. An assumption is made that you know how to use Thonny with the Raspberry Pi Pico; if not, Tom’s Hardware has a guide: www.tomshardware.com/how-to/raspberry-pi-pico-setup/. The DS18B20 Can you have a favourite sensor? If so, this…
