1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,159
to make my door alarm I've got a new

2
00:00:02,159 --> 00:00:04,000
make code project let's get rid of the

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,759
on start block but we're going to keep

4
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:07,120
the forever block because we're going to

5
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,080
keep checking the magnetic field

6
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,639
measured by the microbits magnetometer

7
00:00:11,639 --> 00:00:12,839
its

8
00:00:12,839 --> 00:00:16,199
Compass go to logic and find the if

9
00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:19,199
block and drag that in and also in logic

10
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:21,199
you'll find the comparison block so get

11
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:23,240
that hexagonal block and drop it on top

12
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:24,519
of

13
00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:27,800
true then if we go to input and click on

14
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,960
more you'll find a block called magnet

15
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,640
magnetic force drop it in the first Hole

16
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,320
In the comparison block and we're going

17
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,320
to change it so it measures the overall

18
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,440
strength of the magnetic force your

19
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,120
microbits magnetometer can measure

20
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,920
magnetic force in different dimensions

21
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,199
but we're just interested in just how

22
00:00:47,199 --> 00:00:49,399
strong it is overall and we're going to

23
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:50,960
pop a number in here that we might need

24
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,480
to change later but I'm just going to

25
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:55,120
pick 200 for the moment it measures the

26
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,760
strength of magnetic field in a unit

27
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,480
called micro Teslas and I'm going to try

28
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,519
200 to to start with if the magnetic

29
00:01:01,519 --> 00:01:05,360
field Falls below 200 micro Teslas I'm

30
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,400
going to show an angry face because what

31
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,200
that will mean is the magnet has gone

32
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,040
away from my microbit somebody's opened

33
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,680
the door and uh we want to know

34
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:15,880
someone's been in the room so it's going

35
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,119
to show an angry face on the

36
00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:20,799
display how do I know what number to

37
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:22,520
pick for the magnetic force how do I

38
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,280
know how strong my magnet is well we're

39
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,320
going to do something to sort that out

40
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:29,360
so if we go to input drag in on button a

41
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,840
press

42
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,600
and we'll add a show number block and

43
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,040
let's copy the magnetic force block if I

44
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,759
right click on it duplicate and drag it

45
00:01:38,759 --> 00:01:40,680
in here and drop it there what this

46
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,479
means now is that when I press button a

47
00:01:43,479 --> 00:01:45,520
I can measure the amount of magnetic

48
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,759
force measured by my microbit I can see

49
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:48,799
it on the

50
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:51,920
display so we're ready to try this out

51
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,719
now doesn't work in the simulator so

52
00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:54,640
we're going to need to put this on a

53
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,079
real microbit so uh I'm going to call it

54
00:01:57,079 --> 00:01:59,880
door alarm and I'm going to download the

55
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,759
hex file and transfer it to my microbit

56
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:05,680
I fix the microbit in the battery pack

57
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,320
to the door frame using something like

58
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,720
blue Tack and put the magnet on the door

59
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,800
itself very close to it have a look on

60
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,640
the back of your microbit board and see

61
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:15,400
where the compass is you need to make

62
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,599
sure the magnet is close to the compass

63
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:19,599
chip on the back of your

64
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:22,400
microbit now we can calibrate it with

65
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,000
the door closed press button a and get a

66
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,239
reading of the magnetic field strength

67
00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:30,319
in my case it's around

68
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:32,599
453 microteslas

69
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:35,319
I'm then going to open the door and

70
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:37,640
press button a again and take a reading

71
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:41,400
with the door open it's 129 micro Teslas

72
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,080
now it can still measure some magnetism

73
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,000
don't forget the Earth is magnetic and

74
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,360
there are other things probably in my

75
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,959
house that are magnetic as well so the

76
00:02:47,959 --> 00:02:49,680
microb bit is still picking up some

77
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,879
magnetic field so my number of 200

78
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:55,720
should work pretty well if it's more

79
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,360
than 200 it means the door is shut which

80
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,239
sounds likely cuz with the door shut I

81
00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:03,640
had 453 micro Teslas if it's below 200

82
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:04,959
that probably means someone's open the

83
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:06,680
door in this case I know that when my

84
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,920
door is open I have 129 micro Teslas so

85
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:11,680
that should work okay now I should be

86
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,840
able to tell when someone open my door

87
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,040
an angry face will appear on my microbit

88
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,640
display and I'll know that somebody has

89
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:20,760
been in my room there are lots of things

90
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,360
you could do to this project to augment

91
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,080
it you could perhaps add a delay to give

92
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,280
yourself some time to get out the room

93
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,159
remember if you need to reset it you can

94
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:30,239
just press button a to show the magnetic

95
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:31,599
force again and that will clear the

96
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:33,920
angry face off the display on your

97
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:36,080
microbit uh maybe you could add an

98
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,400
audible alarm as well you could add a

99
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,480
music block so that when somebody opens

100
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,360
your door it makes an audible sound to

101
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,360
warn you that somebody has been inside

102
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,200
your room there are all sorts of ways

103
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,920
you could modify this

104
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,920
project
