Hello!
I have come up with the final function of a product which I am trying to make (of around GCSE standard).
I feel that it may have started to get too complicated, but I am going to put everything down here and then see where I am.
I am creating a circuit for my product on CircuitWizard and although I know that this is a pixace forum, I thought, maybe someone can help me out with a few things.
So, the circuit is:
There are 3-5 bi colour LEDs. On top of these is a pressure pad/PTM. So, randomly, one of the LEDs comes on (red), and when the user hits the pressure pad/PTM above, it goes green and a buzzer emits a sound.
Obviously, there is an on/off switch, but there will also be a switch to change between modes. Depending on complexity, there will be 2-3 modes.
Mode 2: 20 seconds timer, hit as many as you can. (can't use a 7 segment display so can't think of a way in which I could tell the user how many they hit)
Mode 3: two LEDs come on and you must hit them in quick succession.
Then there is the test box circuit which would be good if I could incorporate into the first circuit because ideally I can't have 2 circuits:
Using a three-point pin, if the sword if working, i.e. current coming down left two pins, then the LED goes green, if the circuit is short-circuiting then the LED goes red. If this doesn't make sense, I'm so sorry and will try to explain again.
Questions;: the LEDs are both my inputs and outputs - I don't get how I would lay this out on circuit wizard when drawing the connections to the PICAXE microocontroller
I require some guidance on the layout of the circuit in this matter and resistor values.
How could I indicate the number of hits in 20 seconds without 7 segment or is this impossible?
Could I incorporate the test box circuit into the main circuit or do I need 2 different ones.
Many, many thanks!!
