There is no display on L, 23a to 23h. step
In step 102, the data signal pulse train from the cassette tape via the waveform shaping circuit 2 is decoded and converted into a binary code signal, and in step 103, this converted binary code signal corresponds to the numbers of this binary code. Light emitting diodes 22A to 22 indicate the position of the matsuto switch to be pressed with the trainee's leg, etc.
A lighting signal is sent to the terminals of the light emitting diodes 23a to 23h indicating the position of the trainee's hand. In step 104, switch Matsuto switch 21A~2.
It is repeatedly determined whether or not 1L is closed until a closed circuit is detected, and if the circuit is closed, 2 is determined in step 105.
Determine which number of Matsuto switches displayed in the evolution code are closed. If it is determined that the correct mat switch is closed, in step 107, an addition signal is applied to the terminal of the display section 7 of the liquid crystal display corresponding to the score. Step 105
When it is determined that the wrong matsu switch is closed, a subtraction signal is created in step 106 and the display section 7b of the liquid crystal display is displayed.
Sends a subtraction signal to
