Project 16 Timebomb

1. Description

This project will give you an opportunity experience an interesting timebomb game.

In this project, the dot matrix represents your timebomb, while the digital tube displays remaining time. Buttons can not only control the bomb but also set its time. You may set a countdown to control this bomb, and it explodes when the countdown is over. Beyond that, a buzzer is adopted to alarm.

Anyhow, by programming on multiple sensors, your comprehensive capability of logic thinking can be enhanced.

5. Test Result

After connecting the wires and uploading the code, the blue button (increase) and green button (decrease) can be used to set the time, and the yellow button can be used to count down. When the countdown ends, the smiley face on the Dot Matrix Display turns into a crying face, simulating the explosion of the bomb. Pressing the red button can reset the program.
