Machines make our lives easier by accomplishing heavy and dangerous work for us. However machines sometimes pose a danger themselves. Automatic punching machines or presses are typical examples. On the one hand it is necessary to get very close to the machine to insert the parts to be processed. On the other it is imperative to stay away from the machine when it starts operating.
In order to protect machine operators, safety experts have come up with safety devices such as two-hand controls and light barriers.
Task:
The machine should start only when both buttons are pressed simultaneously to ensure that neither of the operators hands can be in the machine. When one of the buttons is released or the light barrier interrupted, the machine should stop.

The price below is for 1 model out of the 12 models STEM II pack. If you want to build all 12 models, order the full STEM II pack instead.
To achieve fluency and competency in micro:bit coding, you really need to get a thorough understanding of each of the block catagories to be used in the Press with Safety Switch Model (see part 2 below for the full code). Fortunately, all the reference guides are available on the BBC micro:bit web site for you to get a deeper and more comprehensive understanding and mastery.
Through every fischertechnik STEM II model (12 of them), you can learn, practise, build fluency and confidence in coding.
The Press with Safety Switch Model used the following micro:bit blocks. You can click to lean more about each of the block catagories. The links bring you directly to the respective part of the BBC micro:bit reference document site, where live codes are included for you to understand, try, and download:
