Challenge a friend to see who can ‘draw’ the quickest.
You know the scene. Old West town. Two gunslingers face each other on a dusty street. Tumble weed rolls by. Everyone is eying the town clock.
Tick. Tick. ‘Cause when it strikes high noon, the gunslingers………DRAW!
Pew! Pew! Who was the Quickest Draw?
Well put your guns away pardnah. Let’s just use these two buttons we got here on our Circuit Playground. This here is a two person show down game to see who can press their button the quickest.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
