I call this device Blink and Blue. First I found an old lid that was laying around in my room. I then plugged in the board onto my laptop and placed it onto the top of the lid. After that I clipped my red and blue clips onto the middle and right side of the switch and placed that onto the A1 and Ground section of the board. When that was done I pulled out my second switch and my second pair of black and yellow clips and placed those on the A7 and Ground part of the board. When everything was connected I taped the board and the clips to the lid to keep everything as secure as possible.
The code I used was a modified version of the sample code by makecode that is used to activate a switch with your board. I added more code so that both of the switches would work. I made it so the board itself by default blinks red slowly but constantly until you activate one of the switches. The black and yellow switch located on A7 makes the board blink faster. Whereas the red and blue switch located on A1 make it change color to blue.
