use Libraries.Robots.BirdBrain.Finch
Finch finch
output"Tempature as measured by the microbit chip"
repeat until finch:GetButton("A")
integer temp = finch:GetTemperature()
text temptxt = cast(text,temp)
output "Temperature: " + temptxt + " Degrees Celsius"
finch:PlayNote(temp*2,1)
say temp + " degrees Celsius"
finch:Pause(1)
end
say "Done"

finch:Disconnect() 
 

 Something new:  The finch gives us the tempautre as an integer. We want to have this spoken and speech needs text. Cast is the method we use to change and number or an integer in to text. (Line 6) in the last we have cast an integer in to a number. 

TS2 Tempetature Display

 TS2 display temp use Libraries.Robots.BirdBrain.Finch
Finch finch
integer temp = finch:GetTemperature()
integer startTemp= finch:GetTemperature()
integer highTemp = 0
repeat until finch:GetButton("A")
finch:SetTail("ALL",temp,0,0)
finch:SetTail("ALL",0,temp,0)
finch:SetTail("ALL",0,0,temp)
end
temp=finch:GetTemperature()
repeat until finch:GetButton("B")
temp=finch:GetTemperature()
if temp>highTemp
highTemp=temp
end
text temptxt = cast(text,temp)
finch:Output(temptxt)
finch:Pause(2)
end
text highTempTxt = cast(text,highTemp)
output "high Temperature = " + highTempTxt
output "Start Temperature = " + startTemp
output "End Temperature = " + temp
finch:StopAll()
finch:Disconnect() 
 The tempature sensor is on the processor chip on the back of the Micro-bit.
