Tooth Brush Timer

the idea is to create a 2 persons timer for toothbrushing

for this, I used a microbit V1 .

It helps my kids to brush their teeth for the recommended duration.

If you have kids and a micr:bit and you want to ensure they have clean teeth; don't hesitate to copy my instructable.

1 micro:bit V1 version

1 laptop with internet access for makeCode

that's all

the idea is to allow 2 persons using the microbit even they don't arrive in the bathroom on the same time.

The goal is to allow micro:bit doing 2 animations on the same screen.

For that, we will use the LED folder.

1/ when kid 1 arrives , he pushes the A or B button and the animantion begins for 3 minutes

2/ when kid 2 arrives, he pushes the second button and a second animations begins for 3 minutes as well.

so we need to creat 2 different variables (Timer and Timer 2)

Due to the fact kids can arrive separately, we need to draw 2 differents animations on the same micro:bit.

Thus, we can't use the "basic" folder to create animation.

We need to use the LED folder of the MakeCode application and to draw toothbrush pixel by pixel.

in aim to save your batteries, micro:bit has to stop lighting LED when kids have gone.

As consequence, you have to shut off the screen at the end of the loops.

you can now enjoy the micro:bit and ensure to have nice teeth ;-)
