Inspiration
Everyone in our group is fairly new to creating anything with hardware, and so we wanted to create a project where we could make a small piece of hardware connected to the Raspberry Pi, and use that to implement a game.
What it does
It is a game of Tetris that an be played on a board made of LEDs.
How we built it
We first created a circuit consisting of a board of LEDs. (9 x 7) Using the Raspberry PI to control the LEDs we wrote code in Python to implement a game of Tetris on the LEDs.
Challenges we ran into
The biggest challenge was designing the circuit to make our LED matrix. We had limited knowledge of digital logic circuits, and it took a while to figure out which approach to making our circuit would be most efficient/easy to implement.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Creating our own circuit
- Figuring out how to use hardware we have never used before
- Saying the word LIT just enough times.
What we learned
- How to use a Raspberry Pi
- Digital logic circuits
- How to better integrate hardware and software
What's next for LITris
-OpenCV integration to allow for hand gesture input (more interesting user interface)
