TapTap LED was created to address the serious decline of reaction time in the general public. Think about it, nowadays you're always watching something on TV, playing a game on your phone, or watching videos on Facebook; you're always getting an overload of visual stimuli with no required response! TapTap LED keeps the visual stimuli to a minimum while still maintaining a fun and interactive experience that builds on your reaction time. The problem with say, watching TV, is that you're brain is receiving a myriad of visual signals but you're not reacting to them (unless you're watching a really scary movie)! We made TapTap LED to counter this effect; using a few LEDs and light sensors. The system counts how many times you reacted to the stimuli within a given time, in this case, 30 seconds. TapTap LED also comes with two playable sides, so you can also play against someone else to add a competitive aspect!



There are green LEDs on one side and red LEDs on the other, signifying players 1 and 2.



The CdS photoresistor goes in here and is then attached to the frame.

This schematic demonstrates how the project should be wired.
