Control all three CPX as they communicate to each other.

Story

For our project, we used a all three of our Circuit Playground Expresses and a lithium-ion Batteries to create an FX machine. Each circuit playground express is coded, using Adafruit Makecode, to communicate with each other and change colors and animations as the user clicks the individual buttons. The wooden sculpture was built to house the machines to provide an experience of color and animations.

Each CPX has it's own written code. The first line of code that is written for this project is an input command that assigns the buttons A to show the colors for each board, so whenever someone presses the A buttons on that board, all the boards show the colors that were assigned to that board. Each board has a different set of colors and animations set to the A and B buttons. When the user presses the B button, it displays the animation that is set to the board to the rest of the boards. There are nine outputs that can be used, three assigned to each board, so, for example, if the user presses the B button on CPX board #2, it will show the animation on all three boards.
