Your Coolest PicoBoard Creation?
Just a few minutes ago, I used a carrot to give electrical charge, and connect a circit between the alligator clips.
What's the strangest, coolest, weirdest creation you've made with the PicoBoard?
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

The closest I've ever come to a sensor board was knocking over an Arduino Board a few years back.

Hi, could you post your programm?

Re: Your Coolest PicoBoard Creation?
I had the same idea ... just made one for myself .... In your application you state saturated solutions, however I found that a single teaspoon of salt gave me a reading of 28,4 and a single spoon of sugar 77,1. Fresh tap water is 84,6. I'm using 250 ml glasses. If I were to demonstrate this to students I would however use distilled water since the reading will be closer if not 100. the salt should then differ a bit as well as the sugar but that would be a simple calibration test. These boards are absolutely astounding ... I will be stabbing all kinds of fruit trying to find different readings. I like the graphics in the your program ... I did do a very nice alarm system with my pico board

Wow! I don't have my sensor board anymore but those would be cool if I did.
