2. connect and read

Set up the Connect and Read Forever blocks to run.

The 'Connect' block connects your Scratch project to whatever sensor is plugged into the computer. The 'Read Forever' block starts reading measurements from the sensor and runs forever.

3. program your sprite

Program your sprite to react to sensor readings.

You can have them change costumes, size, colour, move around or say different things as sensor values change.
