In this Wappsto:bit Academy project we will build a candy drawer alarm, using the light level sensor on the micro:bit

This alarm will will let you know on Wappsto if the alarm is triggered, while it sounds an alarm to scare off intruders!

We will be using 5 elements in this pretty advanced code:

On start: Set up values and crank up the volume
Forever: What state is the alarm in?
0 = OFF1 = Alarm will turn ON if it sees light (keep in a dark drawer)
2 = ON
On String Value (16) received from Wappsto: Activate or deactivate your alarm from Wappsto
On button A pressed: Start the alarm in 5 seconds
On button A+B pressed while the micro:bit logo is also pressed: turn off the alarm

What are you going to protect? And how would you improve the code?

The light level is 0, and the alarm is armed but not triggered. This means we are ready for action! 🙂 You can also see that the “Desired state” is 1, which is how the Alarm was Armed!
