Ultimate Kit Advanced Projects
Blink Thermometer
Use a temperature sensor to blink out the current temperature with two LEDs. One LED blinks the 'tens place' and the other blinks the 'ones place'.
Brightness Wave
Use an array to change the brightness of the pixels on the LED strip in a wave formation.
Coin Toss
Use code to decide the outcome of a coin toss. Press the button and the lights will flicker as the 'coin' flips through the air.
Color Party
Use the random() function and the .setPixel method to have a party on the LED strip!
Cookie Timer
Combines an indicator light with a software timer and a light and speaker alarm and some math to ensure the timer is working in 10 second increments.
Counter
Use a button to count up to 70 on the LED strip using two colors of light- one for the ones place and the other for the tens place.
Dice Roll
"Roll" a digital dice using and LED light and some computer code! Learn about programming random decisions.
Drag Race Reaction Timer
To make a great reaction time game, create specific time windows where you’ll allow inputs to be read.
FADE RANDOM LED COLORS
Using the random function in your code, let the code decide what color your RGB LED will show.
Jump Man Guided Build
Build your own video game on the Maker Screen. Start from a blank screen and work through 23 lessons to a fun old-school game!
20 Hours
LED Blink Clock
Build a 3-LED clock that can keep time in the code and display it with a button press!
Light & Sound LED Strip Gauge
Using an LED strip, light sensor and sound sensor, create a double gauge that measures the sound from one end and the light from the other.
memory game
Test your memory against your own code! This program blinks out a pattern of lights, then you try to repeat it back. Each time you succeed, the pattern grows.
Morse Code Creator
Create messages in code that will blink on Maker Board's LED. Learn how to convert plain characters to ASCII code, then to Morse Code.
MORSE CODE WITH SOUND
You’ll replace LED blinking lights with a speaker to make beeps instead of blinks in this Morse Code creator.
MORSE CODE WITH SOUND & LIGHT
Combine the digitalWrite commands for the LED with the tone commands for the speaker in this Morse Code creator.
Multi-Color Glow Lamp
Fade and mix colors together in a repeating pattern to create a fun glow lamp for your computer.
Pong
Play a fun game of pong using lights and buttons. There's a lot of code here, but you can do it!
Sound Samples
Use loops, functions, and variables to create all kinds of cool sounds with just a speaker and a button. Then think up new ways to use code for all kinds of noises.
Sound Sensor LED Strip Gauge
Using an LED Strip and a sound sensor, create a sound gauge that lights up more pixels when it's loud and fewer pixels when it's quiet.
Temperature Sensor LED Strip Gauge
Using an LED Strip and a temperature sensor, create a temperature gauge that lights up more pixels when it's warm and fewer pixels when it's cool.
Timing Game
Try to hit the button just as the moving pixel passes the center pixel. Level up and increase your speed. How fast can you go?
Tune LED Colors with Button
Mix the colors of an RGB LED light together for hundreds of unique color combinations.
