Groot & TinyLogic
Hey, I've been watching the forest, and I think we could set up a simple fire alarm using light sensors on the trees and some logic gates to trigger sprinklers when the air gets too hot.
That sounds like a neat little puzzle! You could wire the light sensors into a comparator that flips when the ambient brightness drops—indicating smoke or fire—and feed that into a NOR gate that also checks a temperature sensor. When both conditions are true, the output could trigger a sprinkler relay. Just make sure your sensors are shielded from rain, or the logic will get all muddled. Let me know if you want a quick truth‑table diagram to make sure it’s flawless!
Yes, a quick truth‑table would be great, thank you.
Here’s a quick four‑row truth table for your two‑sensor trigger:
Light (L) Temp (T) Sprinkler (S)
0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 0
1 1 0
So the sprinkler lights up only when the light is low (fire suspected) and the temperature is high. Happy tinkering!
Great, that should keep the fire out. Thanks!
