Project I am working on this for my Best friend and partner at her request after she saw it on Facebook. It’s a torture device. She gives naughty kids sent to her office things to play with and ignores them until they start talking. Works most of the time. The Amazon/ Walmart version is simple: 4 keyboard keys light 4 standard LEDs. This version I am working on is using 5 buttons and 5 WS2812s colored LEDs. It will incorporate at least 5 different games. I am thinking of incorporating a peizo buzzer for sound.

I am hoping to give this away/ open source for everyone. I used Claude Code to write the code for Arduino IDE using a Seeeduino XIAO. It insists on using GIT which is new to me. 🥴

I am hoping to get others interested in the project.

Done:

1. Sooth mode: Pushing any buttons fades in/out the corresponding LEDs

Todo

1. Copy 2: 2 random LEDs light and you must push the corresponding buttons before times out

2. Simple Piiman: Copy the increasing sequence…

3. Color match: 5 color (1 assigned to each button). Random LED lights one of those colors you must push the corresponding button

4. Have to remember that one ☹

Thumb button long press changes game mode.

I am sourcing the battery, LiPo charge and button. I will probably design a flex circuit PCB for the LEDs and button etc. I have a couple version in mind. This one with use the Seeed. If there is a next, one board would with almost any MCU.

I want the button actuators to be compliant mechanisms (no springs/ less parts).

I could use some help if anyone is interested. They pay is lousy. I’m having fun. 😅

If anyone has any information about make a community project. Critiques and pointers I would be appreciative.

If anyone wants to colaborate… 😅

Game 4 done. It is now Game 3.

Waiting for parts. Batteries and battery charger and buttons before I design the case. Want them in hand for accurate dimensions

Soon I’ll be working on the flex circuit design. Schematic first.
