Resources and Going Further
Try browsing the additional examples in the Simon Says GitHub Repository written by SparkFun customer Mike Soltys. If you are interested in learning more about code, we also recommend looking at some of the example sketches that come build in to the Arduino Software. In the Arduino IDE, click File>Examples>Basics. You can also browse any of the code used in our SparkFun Inventor's Kit. All of the examples have good comments that will tell you a lot about how the code works. But most importantly, we hope that you can start working on a project of your own. We find that most first time makers have more fun and are most motivated when they have a specific goal in mind.
One creative lady at a past workshop planned to make a night-light that says "goodnight" with a unique sound and light sequence. Another person wants to use the Simon Says he built up to control the temperature of his custom made coffee maker. Or maybe you can combine the Simon Says board with some magic. At SparkFun AVC 2013, the buttons on the Simon Says were replaced with trampolines to trigger a dunk tank drop.
If you can think of a project that you would like to create – whether it's a night light or sophisticated self-destructing robot – this will help you stay focused and you will be amazed how much you can learn along the way!! What will you do with yours? The sky is the limit!! Happy Soldering!
