MakeCode Programming

Step 1

Click "Advanced" in the MakeCode drawer to see more choices.

We need to add a package for programming, . Click "Extensions" in the bottom of the drawer and search with "PlanetX" in the dialogue box to download it.

Note: If you met a tip indicating that the codebase will be deleted due to incompatibility, you may continue as the tips say or build a new project in the menu.

Step 2

Code as below:

Note: A delay of 3 seconds is required from detecting the temperature to the moisture while using the DHT11 temperature and moisture sensor.
