  1. Modify the threshold value and see how it changes the behavior of your code. For example, if you modify the value from 3.0 to 5.0, what does this mean?<\/li>\n
    <\/p>\n
  2. When the user has shaken the “dice”, generate a random number between 1 and 6 and print the results to the console.<\/li>\n

    Option 1. Get user input to find out what type of plant they have, and then print whether the location is appropriate for that plant.<\/pee>Option 2. Modify your program to record the illuminance of a location over a period of time and save it in a file. Repeat this for a few days. Read your file and find the average illuminance to determine if the plant will survive in that location. <\/pee>Option 3. You may find your space is not bright enough for your plant, you can combine your Light Phidget and Power Switch with a fluorescent light to create an artificial environment for your plant. Control when the light is on\/off with your switch and use the Light Phidget to monitor the brightness and ensure the light is is in the appropriate positions relative to your plant.<\/pee>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column_inner type=”4_4″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ custom_padding__hover=”|||” custom_padding=”|||” saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″][et_pb_code admin_label=”ph-button-cta: Back to Projects” _builder_version=”4.4.1″ box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_vertical_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_blur_tablet=”40px” box_shadow_spread_tablet=”0px” vertical_offset_tablet=”0″ horizontal_offset_tablet=”0″ z_index_tablet=”0″]  <\/p>\n
