RE: Microworlds and temperature sensor on RCX

["Erik Nauman" <ENauman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah, I like the conversion option, which is actually what we were working
on in class. So that works out for the better that we're doing the work
we need to do.
Thank you!

Hi,
You are right, MWEX does Celcius only.
To convert, ask your students to do some math:

to celcius
waituntil [rm?]
make "value rm
pr :value
end

to farenheit
waituntil [rm?]
make "value rm
make "value (:value * 9 / 5) + 32
pr :value
end

or

to farenheit
waituntil [rm?]
make "value (rm * 9 / 5) + 32
pr :value
end

or

to farenheit
waituntil [rm?]
pr (rm * 9 / 5) + 32
end

I've been using the temperature sensor on the RCX to send values to
MicroWorlds and have students make temperature value spreadsheets and
just noticed that on the Lego Education website they say the RCX can
display temperatures in Celsius AND Fahrenheit. Any idea how you get it
to display the Fahrenheit? In Microworlds EX Robotics help it says only
Celsius is available. Maybe that's a limitation of MWEX.
Thanks, Erik
