Summary of High-Low Binary LED Arduino Game
This project is a simple Arduino-based binary number guessing game. The Arduino displays a binary number on green LEDs, and the player guesses if their number is higher than the computer's number, which is shown on red LEDs. Correct guesses trigger a green flashing pattern; incorrect guesses trigger a red one. The game uses specific Arduino pins for LEDs and switches, and the design serves as an educational workshop.
Parts used in the High-Low Binary LED Arduino Game:
- Arduino or clone microcontroller
- 3 green LEDs
- 3 red LEDs
- 6 120 ohm resistors
- 2 10k ohm resistors
- USB A to B cable
- Breadboard
- Jumpers or 22 gauge solid wire
This is a pretty simple game: The Arduino shows a number in binary on the green LEDs. You then guess whether your green number is bigger than the computer’s number. The Arduino shows its number on the red LEDs. If you were right, you will see a green flashing pattern. If you are wrong, you’ll see a red flashing pattern.
I designed this project as a workshop for people in a design competition I’ve been organizing. This instructable is a brief overview of the workshop.
Binary is pretty easy to read. Google “Count binary on fingers” to see how.
Good luck!
Step 2: Wiring
I feel the pictures explain this better. Please click each picture and then hover over the different yellow rectangles.
The wiring is as follows:
Green LEDs – pins 2, 3, 4
Red LEDs – pins 5, 6, 7
“Swiches” – pins 11 and 12
