For my love machine, I wanted to emulate the swiping mechanic from dating apps into a button system. I wanted a way of matching people by accepting or rejecting them using green and red switches and LEDs. I programmed the microcontroller with two colored switches that are connected to their respective color of LED. If you press the green button, then the green LED would turn on. If you press the red button, the red LED will turn on. Instead of using simple switches, I opted to use the colored one so anyone using the circuit would know which button to use in order to activate the correct LED. This idea came from the Prepared Brain idea from “Attractive Things Work Better” where the brain naturally assoicates things such as color.
