Proto-Tetris Machine

cults3d

Hi! This is a rework of an old Arduino project that's been revived. It's a collection of parts that works as a stand for a protoboard, along with some components used to build a Tetris Machine. Take a look at the pictures where I'm using my DIY Controller - you can create your own by combining a PS2-like joystick and 3 buttons. The project comes with an .ino file that uses the Fastled, LedControl, and Adafruit_TicoServo libraries (downloadable from the library manager in the IDE). Here's what you'll need: * Arduino Uno/Nano * A cheap SG90 Servo (it works fine) * Two 8x8 RGB Matrix panels (you can find affordable ones on eBay) * Display MAX7219 * PS2-like joystick * 3 switch buttons Check out the pinout for your Arduino: * Joystick: AX to A0, AY to A1 * Buttons: Rotate CW to D3, Rotate CCW to D4, Start to D5 * RGB Matrix: to D8 * Servo: to D9 * Display Max7219: Data to D10, CS to D11, CLK to D12 Important note: Don't connect the RGB Matrix directly to your Arduino - it can consume more than 1Amp and you might end up frying your board. There are two versions for the Matrix diffusor in one or two pieces. If you're comfortable with filament changes, I recommend printing the 'matrix_cover_with_diffusor.stl' file using a dark color filament. The white panel has a 0.6mm thickness - you can also print it separately and glue or tape them together. Check out some useful pics and instructions/tips below.
