I’m struggeling to get the external tempsensor (Soil temp) to work. In the log it’s only showing the numbers -0.119999 for all readings and when I used your code for Experiment 4 and placed the sensor in a glass with warm water or cold water the value the Micro:Bit showed was 0, all the time. I can’t get the sensor to show any right value even if I reset the Microbit, checking the connections to the sensor and so on.

Anyone else experience the same with the external temp.sensor?

Hi chaelf,

I think this issue may be the same or similar to the issue I answered in [[this post](https://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=50195). Try following the steps in my reply and see if that fixes the issue. It’s a weird quirk with Make:code that should be fixed by reinstalling the extension.]([https://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=50195](https://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=50195))
