The idea is to make
a Connect Four game using an Arduino and an 8x8 matrix of red-green-blue (RGB)
light emitting diodes (LEDs). The game will be controlled with a joystick. The
entire game - Arduino, circuitry, etc. - will be encapsulated by a 3D printed
box to make the game hand-held.
The materials,
supplies, and software to make this project potentially include
- Arduino UNO
- USB cable
- 8x8 RGB Matrix
- Colorduino or similar LED driver shield
- Joystick module
- Female-male (FM) wires
- Jumper wires
- Breadboard
- 9 Volt battery
- Battery pack
- Soldering equipment
- 3D printer
- CAD software
- Affinia Studio
- Arduino integrated development environment (IDE)
Of these supplies,
only the 8x8 RGB LED matrix and driver need to be purchased for this project.
The rest of the supplies can be provided by Jessica (who owns an Elegoo SuperStarter Kit) or Drexel's Innovation Studio.
