Covid-19 Hand Wash Timer - 20 Seconds
Have you got either if these sitting around doing nothing? It's good to use as a hands free 20 second hand wash timer as you soap up and remove the virus.
All you need to get this project up and running are:
- Mu editor
- An Adafruit CircuitPlayground Express or Bluefruit
- USB cable
- USB 5V power plug
- Blu Tack or similar
First the Bluefruit
This is the easy one.
Just copy the code, paste it into the Mu editor and flash it to your Adafruit CircuitPlayground Bluefruit.
Clap your hand loudly near the CPB and all the LEDs will turn red. As the seconds tick away the LEDs change first to yellow and then to green. When the 20 seconds are over all the LEDs flash and bleep so its time to rinse.
After testing use Blu Tack to place the CPB near the sink and power from the wallwart.
It's always on and you do not need to touch it.

Now the Express
This one is far more complicated. The mic on this board is much harder to use to identify a clap of the hands but Adafruit supply some modifiable code which has been included.
Just copy the code, paste it into the Mu editor and flash it to your Adafruit CircuitPlayground Express.
