You can't just pay people to do work that measures your ability. IF you know how to do it, do it. Otherwise it's meaningless. Nevertheless if you have the sensor inputs as variables in scratch and a way of exporting it to an RSS feed (I've never used them) then it should be simple.

Yes, please!

I never said that I know how to do it. This is the only module that I'll be studying Scratch in the degree's structure. I managed everything else until now, but I could never get around Sense. If I can't come up with this project soon, all my work until now was for nothing. So PLEASE, help me if you can. Thank you for the replies.

I know that, and I was saying that no one should because what's the point of getting an A if you didn't do it.

If you're being told to do it they'll have told you how, if you forgot, ask or look online.

I know it's not a nice thing to do, I'm not proud of it, but I just have no other way of getting out of this. I'm towards the end of the degree, and finishing it would be the end of three years of having 2 days a month off from 2 jobs and Uni, among other sacrifices. If I don't deliver this project, those 3 years would go down the drain. I'm sorry if I offended anyone by asking for help here, I'm just desperate, I think the above gives you an idea why.
If anyone is willing to help me, I can provide the short section of course materials that would explain how to work with the rss feeds, with examples etc.
Thank you.

Thank you Prestige. I've gathered all the materials saying how to create/use rss feeds and put them in a tutorial, the only thing they are missing are the example images. Here they are:

If you need the images for the courses, please let me know. Also, I've added the two sense files they provided for the project. Thank you very much, you have no idea how much this means to me!

Well for one, you'll be older than me (I'm starting my degree next year) so again I'm not quite sure which areas you're asking for help with.

Apart from the RSS feed, the program required to compile the data is mathematically simple.

I'd make lists for ALL the variables being recorded, temp, volume etc. Clear the list and then run the project. Make a further list (called 'Log' or something) to store the data in the required format. Reset the timer and add values to the respective lists every 20 seconds as required. To work out if the current reading is 20% higher than the list, just use an if statement like:

if <(item [last v] of [list v]) > ((item ((length of [list v]) - (1))) * (1.2))>  
change [hazard v] by (1)
end

* Use the hazard variable to determine the warning: green, amber or yellow.

Again, this is the idea for the program to run, I'm hesitant to provide the entire algorithm (and still unsure if I could even create one).

Hi cardenas8593.  Just to let you know, we've been contacted by an administrator from your school asking for your contact info. Sharing that information would violate our privacy policy, so we won't be doing that. However, we're going to close this thread and ask you not to ask people to do your assignments for you here on Scratch (or offer to pay them for it). Setting that up would require the transfer of contact info, and it's not ok to exchange that kind of contact info on a site for children.

While we want the Scratch forums to be a place where people can get help with projects (for school or otherwise), we don't think it's appropriate to assist you in your intent to commit academic fraud. We hope you can find a better way out of your predicament.
