Code to Note
Let’s take a look at the code blocks in this experiment.
If you are having a hard time viewing this code, click on the image above to get a better look!
Adding an External Package
In MakeCode you can write external pieces of code that allows you to create and use custom blocks for specific applications
and/or components that you could use with the micro:bit. We wrote a simple package for the TMP36 temperature sensor to cut out
a lot of complicated math for you to do.
To add a package to your MakeCode editor first click on Advanced and then Add Packages….
This will bring up a search box. Feel free to search for different packages to play with, but for this specific example you need to
search for a specific package. Please copy the link below and paste it into your search box.

This should bring up the TMP36 package that we wrote. To add the package to your sketch just click on the package once it
appears in the search output!
