Simon:Says Game Board for micro:bit

Simon:Says Game Board for micro:bit

This is our Simon:Says board for the micro:bit. With this board you can create your own Simon Says game by programming the micro:bit.
Below we've provide a simple example should you require it or why not jump in and make one from scratch? What about a two-player version using the micro:bit radio function?

Notes:

• This product has very sensitive capacitive pads - For best results don't hold it in your hand while playing - place it on a table or other surface
• The included rubber feet MUST be fitted, otherwise, you may get some capacitive effects from your table surface
• micro:bit is not included

Example Code:

To help you get up and running quickly, we have provided some sample code below. This is written in micropython and creates a simple "1 person versus the computer" style Simon game.
