Simon Says — SIK Circuit 16
안내
Parts & Introduction
Parts & Introduction
The grand finale! Simon Says is a memory game where you repeat an ever-growing sequence of colored lights and sounds. This project combines LEDs, buttons, and a buzzer into a complete game with multiple modes. It's the most complex circuit in the SIK — a great capstone project.
Parts Needed
- 1x Arduino Uno + USB cable
- 1x Breadboard
- 4x LEDs (red, green, blue, yellow if possible)
- 4x Push Buttons
- 1x Piezo Buzzer
- 4x 330Ω Resistors
- 17x Jumper Wires
Game Modes
- Memory Mode (default) — Follow the growing pattern. Win after 13 rounds.
- Battle Mode (hold green at startup) — Two-player mode, each player extends the sequence.
- Easter Egg (hold yellow at startup) — Plays "Stayin' Alive" with flashing LEDs!

- Each LED needs a 330Ω resistor between its negative leg and GND.
- Buttons use
INPUT_PULLUPmode — connect one side to the pin, other side to GND. No external resistors needed. - The buzzer uses two pins for push-pull drive (louder sound).
- Important: Make sure both GND rails on the breadboard are connected together!

What You Should See
The game starts with a victory sound, then LEDs cycle in an "attract mode" pattern. Press any button to start playing:
- A random LED lights up with a tone — press the matching button.
- The sequence grows by one each round.
- Win after 13 correct rounds! Lose if you press wrong or take too long (3 seconds).
Troubleshooting
- Only half the circuit works: Make sure both GND rails on the breadboard are connected together!
- No sound: Check that both buzzer pins are in the correct rows.
- Buttons not responding: Pay close attention to which pin connects to each button. The
INPUT_PULLUPmode means buttons read LOW when pressed.
Experiments to Try
- Hold the green button during power-up for Battle Mode (2 players).
- Hold the yellow button during power-up for the Bee Gees easter egg!
- Modify
ROUNDS_TO_WINto make the game easier or harder. - Change
ENTRY_TIME_LIMITto give more or less time per button press.
