Example Code for MakeCode-Alcohol concentration detector(Based on BeeBotte)
In this tutorial, we will simulate a smart alcohol monitoring system. An alcohol concentration sensor installed in a vehicle uploads real-time data to the Beebotte platform. By monitoring the uploaded values, users can identify vehicles with alcohol levels exceeding a predefined threshold (for example, 800 as an assumed drunk-driving limit). This demonstrates how IoT technology can be used to remotely monitor data and improve efficiency in real-world applications.
