Using a breadboard and some simple components, make a super-fun reaction game while learning how to use a breadboard to make an electronic circuit, as well as programming in Python to make your game even better.
The game involves a race against an opponent, but there are a handful of trick signals thrown in for good measure, so don’t get too complacent. The project is designed as an extension to the projects found in the Monk Makes Raspberry Pi Electronics Starter Kit.
Reaction game: Connect the LEDs
Gather the components as listed on the left. Following the breadboard diagram, attach the two red LEDs to the breadboard, at either end. You must ensure that the long leg of the LED is facing down, on both LEDs.
This is the positive leg, which will be connected to a positive output on the Raspberry Pi. The big RGB LED can be connected in the middle of …
