0:00:00.640,0:00:02.159
to make my door alarm I've got a new

0:00:02.159,0:00:04.000
make code project let's get rid of the

0:00:04.000,0:00:05.759
on start block but we're going to keep

0:00:05.759,0:00:07.120
the forever block because we're going to

0:00:07.120,0:00:09.080
keep checking the magnetic field

0:00:09.080,0:00:11.639
measured by the microbits magnetometer

0:00:11.639,0:00:12.839
its

0:00:12.839,0:00:16.199
Compass go to logic and find the if

0:00:16.199,0:00:19.199
block and drag that in and also in logic

0:00:19.199,0:00:21.199
you'll find the comparison block so get

0:00:21.199,0:00:23.240
that hexagonal block and drop it on top

0:00:23.240,0:00:24.519
of

0:00:24.519,0:00:27.800
true then if we go to input and click on

0:00:27.800,0:00:29.960
more you'll find a block called magnet

0:00:29.960,0:00:33.640
magnetic force drop it in the first Hole

0:00:33.640,0:00:36.320
In the comparison block and we're going

0:00:36.320,0:00:39.320
to change it so it measures the overall

0:00:39.320,0:00:41.440
strength of the magnetic force your

0:00:41.440,0:00:43.120
microbits magnetometer can measure

0:00:43.120,0:00:44.920
magnetic force in different dimensions

0:00:44.920,0:00:47.199
but we're just interested in just how

0:00:47.199,0:00:49.399
strong it is overall and we're going to

0:00:49.399,0:00:50.960
pop a number in here that we might need

0:00:50.960,0:00:52.480
to change later but I'm just going to

0:00:52.480,0:00:55.120
pick 200 for the moment it measures the

0:00:55.120,0:00:56.760
strength of magnetic field in a unit

0:00:56.760,0:00:59.480
called micro Teslas and I'm going to try

0:00:59.480,0:01:01.519
200 to to start with if the magnetic

0:01:01.519,0:01:05.360
field Falls below 200 micro Teslas I'm

0:01:05.360,0:01:08.400
going to show an angry face because what

0:01:08.400,0:01:10.200
that will mean is the magnet has gone

0:01:10.200,0:01:12.040
away from my microbit somebody's opened

0:01:12.040,0:01:14.680
the door and uh we want to know

0:01:14.680,0:01:15.880
someone's been in the room so it's going

0:01:15.880,0:01:18.119
to show an angry face on the

0:01:18.119,0:01:20.799
display how do I know what number to

0:01:20.799,0:01:22.520
pick for the magnetic force how do I

0:01:22.520,0:01:24.280
know how strong my magnet is well we're

0:01:24.280,0:01:26.320
going to do something to sort that out

0:01:26.320,0:01:29.360
so if we go to input drag in on button a

0:01:29.360,0:01:30.840
press

0:01:30.840,0:01:33.600
and we'll add a show number block and

0:01:33.600,0:01:36.040
let's copy the magnetic force block if I

0:01:36.040,0:01:38.759
right click on it duplicate and drag it

0:01:38.759,0:01:40.680
in here and drop it there what this

0:01:40.680,0:01:43.479
means now is that when I press button a

0:01:43.479,0:01:45.520
I can measure the amount of magnetic

0:01:45.520,0:01:47.759
force measured by my microbit I can see

0:01:47.759,0:01:48.799
it on the

0:01:48.799,0:01:51.920
display so we're ready to try this out

0:01:51.920,0:01:53.719
now doesn't work in the simulator so

0:01:53.719,0:01:54.640
we're going to need to put this on a

0:01:54.640,0:01:57.079
real microbit so uh I'm going to call it

0:01:57.079,0:01:59.880
door alarm and I'm going to download the

0:01:59.880,0:02:03.759
hex file and transfer it to my microbit

0:02:03.759,0:02:05.680
I fix the microbit in the battery pack

0:02:05.680,0:02:07.320
to the door frame using something like

0:02:07.320,0:02:09.720
blue Tack and put the magnet on the door

0:02:09.720,0:02:11.800
itself very close to it have a look on

0:02:11.800,0:02:13.640
the back of your microbit board and see

0:02:13.640,0:02:15.400
where the compass is you need to make

0:02:15.400,0:02:17.599
sure the magnet is close to the compass

0:02:17.599,0:02:19.599
chip on the back of your

0:02:19.599,0:02:22.400
microbit now we can calibrate it with

0:02:22.400,0:02:26.000
the door closed press button a and get a

0:02:26.000,0:02:28.239
reading of the magnetic field strength

0:02:28.239,0:02:30.319
in my case it's around

0:02:30.319,0:02:32.599
453 microteslas

0:02:32.599,0:02:35.319
I'm then going to open the door and

0:02:35.319,0:02:37.640
press button a again and take a reading

0:02:37.640,0:02:41.400
with the door open it's 129 micro Teslas

0:02:41.400,0:02:43.080
now it can still measure some magnetism

0:02:43.080,0:02:45.000
don't forget the Earth is magnetic and

0:02:45.000,0:02:46.360
there are other things probably in my

0:02:46.360,0:02:47.959
house that are magnetic as well so the

0:02:47.959,0:02:49.680
microb bit is still picking up some

0:02:49.680,0:02:52.879
magnetic field so my number of 200

0:02:52.879,0:02:55.720
should work pretty well if it's more

0:02:55.720,0:02:58.360
than 200 it means the door is shut which

0:02:58.360,0:03:00.239
sounds likely cuz with the door shut I

0:03:00.239,0:03:03.640
had 453 micro Teslas if it's below 200

0:03:03.640,0:03:04.959
that probably means someone's open the

0:03:04.959,0:03:06.680
door in this case I know that when my

0:03:06.680,0:03:09.920
door is open I have 129 micro Teslas so

0:03:09.920,0:03:11.680
that should work okay now I should be

0:03:11.680,0:03:13.840
able to tell when someone open my door

0:03:13.840,0:03:17.040
an angry face will appear on my microbit

0:03:17.040,0:03:18.640
display and I'll know that somebody has

0:03:18.640,0:03:20.760
been in my room there are lots of things

0:03:20.760,0:03:22.360
you could do to this project to augment

0:03:22.360,0:03:24.080
it you could perhaps add a delay to give

0:03:24.080,0:03:26.280
yourself some time to get out the room

0:03:26.280,0:03:28.159
remember if you need to reset it you can

0:03:28.159,0:03:30.239
just press button a to show the magnetic

0:03:30.239,0:03:31.599
force again and that will clear the

0:03:31.599,0:03:33.920
angry face off the display on your

0:03:33.920,0:03:36.080
microbit uh maybe you could add an

0:03:36.080,0:03:38.400
audible alarm as well you could add a

0:03:38.400,0:03:41.480
music block so that when somebody opens

0:03:41.480,0:03:44.360
your door it makes an audible sound to

0:03:44.360,0:03:46.360
warn you that somebody has been inside

0:03:46.360,0:03:48.200
your room there are all sorts of ways

0:03:48.200,0:03:50.920
you could modify this

0:03:50.920,0:03:53.920
project
