micro:bit Buzz Wire Game

This project makes use of conductive paint to make a fun "buzz wire" game so you can compete with your friends. The aim of the game is to draw the small loop over the black coil without touching it. It's not easy!
The coil should be printed then coated with the conductive paint then slotted into the base part. The micro:bit then slots onto the base and connects the coil to pin 0. Crocodile clips attach the loop to ground and allow for a flexible handle. Coat the inside of the loop with the conductive paint and extend a line of paint down the handle so the crocodile clip attachment touches the paint. Therefore when the loop touches the coil it completes the circuit for pin 0 and the micro:bit can log the touch! See how fast you can complete the game and with how few touches! You culd also try printing the coil and loop in conductive filament to avoid the mess of painting :)
