The Improbable Switch



MazeModule.jpg
The Improbable Switch, maze module


For the first assignment I built a switch that needs a (playful) effort to be operated.
It should stretch the time between the different states of change - and it should be allowed to „revolt".

I decided to design a little maze.
In the beginning two little metal balls are positioned at the starting point of the maze.
By that time no current flows through the circuit.
The goal is to make one of the balls fall into the „on-hole“ before the other ball reaches the „off-hole“.
The game is over as soon as one of the balls gets trapped in „hell“.

By activating the „on-hole“ a heart beat sound is turned on.
This sound continues until it is turned off by reaching the „off-hole“.
A loud noise starts buzzing for three seconds when one of the balls is trapped in „hell“.

For a restart both balls need to be removed and the reset-button on the circuit board is to be pushed.
