Microbit Steady Hand Game Tutorial

In this tutorial we will show you how to make a steady hand game, where the users has to navigate their way through a wire maze without touching the bare wire of the maze. This project is super easy to make and cheap too!

You will need:

 

 

Wiring up the circuit is really easy, you just need to make a Pull-up resistor circuit that will register an input of high when the wires are touching(when your controlled wire touches the maze wire) and registers a low when the two aren’t touching.
