The Final Challenge - The Blinking Lights Game

***Covid modification - Complete the Blinking Lights Game without the soldering component***

In this assignment you will be creating an interactive game using the following parts:

• Arduino Uno (or equivalent)

• USB Programming Cable

• 1 SB5 Protoboard

• Up to 7 LEDs

• Up to 7 weak resistors (100Ω-1kΩ, all same value)

• 1 strong resistor (10kΩ)

• 1 Strip of 90° (or straight) male pin headers

• 1 pushbutton

The suggested game design should blink the leds in order and should stop the blinking at the currently blinking light when the button is pushed. (if you have a modification to make to the game such as sound or a potentiometer, please check in with your teacher)

One of the lights should be the “winning light” and when that light is stopped at with the push button is pressed another LED should turn on.

To complete this project, your group must submit the following:

• The flowchart you based your code on. This flowchart must be shown to your teacher for review before you start coding.

• The Arduino code written in text, commented properly, and submitted through your Google Drive ePortfolio.

• An electrical diagram (created with Fritzing or by hand) that shows the layout of the hardware board. This diagram must be shown to your teacher for review before you start soldering.

• A demonstration of the working game.

• A project review document (can submit as a GoogleDoc):

  • What were the main challenges of this project?

  • How has your knowledge of electrical assembly and soldering changed after completing this project?

  • How has your knowledge of programming and troubleshooting in Arduino changed after completing this project?

  • If you and your group had to do the Blinking Lights project again what would you change, and why?
