Hardware Setup
Step1: Connect the three touch buttons to pin 6, 8 and 12 of Hub respectively.
Step2: Connect the two horns to AudioPro.
Step3: Stack AudioPro, Hub, Core+ and Led Matrix together.
How to Play
The touch buttons connected to pin 6, 8 and 12 of Hub stand for A, B and C respectively. When the device is powered, you can select a mode with the touch buttons.
- A corresponds to mode 0;
