Now that you’ve successfully got your Simon Says up and running, it’s time to incorporate it into your own project!
Arduino IDE
This ATmega328P comes pre-programmed with the Simon code as well as the STK500 serial bootloader. This
serial bootloader will allow you to re-program the Simon game using the Arduino IDE. Selecting the “LilyPad
Arduino w/ ATMega328” bootloader that was burned to the Atmega328P chip allows the Simon to be re-
programmed to do many different things! You can write code to change your Simon into a new unique project. Try
browsing our GitHub repository containing the default example code and additional examples:
