Description
A Simple LED array counters for board-games or for kids.
Using 4 micro switches and a sliding cover, you can reset the counter just by pushing the cover.
It uses a RP2040-zero, which is a smaller size Raspberry Pi Pico, but a normal Pi Pico will work as well.
Te code for MicroPython, so you need to flash the controller for MicroPython and it only requires the Neopixel library.
Two versions: 2 digit counter using one 8x8 LED (_64 in the files) array or 3 digit counter using two 8x8 led arrays (_128 in the files).
