Summary of Arduino Tetris on bi-color LED matrix
The jolliFactory Bi-color LED Matrix Driver Module Kit enables daisy-chaining for scalable displays. This article details a DIY Tetris game built by chaining two modules with an Arduino microcontroller, adapting code from online sources since no existing project was found. Basic soldering and Arduino skills are required to assemble the system, which is demonstrated via a YouTube video (link broken in text).
Parts used in the Arduino Tetris on bi-color LED matrix:
- Bi-color LED Matrix Driver Module
- Arduino micro-controller
One of the electronics DIY kit jolliFactory came up with is the Bi-color LED Matrix Driver Module Kit. This module is designed to be chain-able so that you may daisy-chain the modules together to the number of modules you need to suit your project.
The following are some of the projects built using this Bi-color LED Matrix Driver module:
- Instructable to build a 7 Bi-color LED Matrix Scrolling Text Display
- Instructable to build a Voice Input Arduino Bi-color LED Matrix Scrolling Text Display (Bluetooth + Android)
It is amazing to browse through instructables and find projects which may interest and inspire you to embark on the project or ignite new ideas for your project.
Tetris is a tile-matching puzzle video game released in 1984 and it was the hugely successful handheld version for the Game Boy launched in 1989 that established the game as one of the most popular ever.
Just for FUN, we thought we could build a simple Tetris game by daisy-chaining two of the Bi-color LED Matrix Driver modules together driven by an Arduino micro-controller simply by adapting similar projects found at instructables. We searched through the instructables here but did not manage to find any similar Tetris project to work on.
We expand our search to other online sites and managed to find some information which we adapted to build a simple Arduino based Bi-color LED Matrix Tetris game here.
To build this project, basic electronics knowledge with electronics component soldering skill and some knowledge on using the Arduino are required.
You may view the following YouTube video to see what we are building.
