Now let's bring it all together into our final code. We just add our animation functions to the Hand Position Detection code and then replace the Serial.println() statements with calls to our left/right turn animations.
And here it is:

void loop() {
// check slide switch position
if (CircuitPlayground.slideSwitch()) {
// check for hand up or down
if (CircuitPlayground.motionZ() > THRESHOLD_UP) {
// do nothing
} else {
// check for right turn
if (CircuitPlayground.motionX() > THRESHOLD_RIGHT) {
rightTurnAnimation();

leftTurnAnimation();
}
}
}
}
"ON/OFF" Switch
You may have noticed one extra feature added to this final code. Within the loop() function, everything is wrapped in an if statement that checks the position of the slide switch using CircuitPlayground.slideSwitch(). Like this:
void loop() {
// check slide switch position
if (CircuitPlayground.slideSwitch()) {
// MAIN CODE HERE
}
}
This was done to provide a simple on/off capability. If the Circuit Playground had an on/off switch for power, then we could just use that and turn it off for real. But since it doesn't we can use the slide switch. The Circuit Playground is still powered, but the code that makes the bike glove work is only run if the slide switch is in the + position.
Therefore:
Maybe you want to stop and pet a cute kitty you see, but don't want to freak it out with flashing lights. So you can just disable the lights real quick by sliding the switch to - position. Slide bike to + position when you're ready to go.
Happy riding!
