Arduino / Gameboard

• 2.0 – Intro to Arduino
  • Try these two links to give you an introduction and a basic understanding of the arduino. We will be using Tinkercad circuits for experimentation when outside of class.
  • Arduino Intro
  • Arduino Tutorial
• 2.1 – Graphics Library Reference (what commands you can call)
• 2.2 – OLED Example Template (View Tutorial Here)
• 2.3 – Learn analogRead to read the joysticks (A6,A7)
  • And display the X & Y values on your OLED display!
• 2.4 – Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
• 2.5 – Using 3 LEDs with PWM (or maybe just one RGB LED? 🙂
• 2.6 – NeoPixel examples (also see Mr. Murray’s Neopixel example)
• TinkerCAD Simulations Test for January 14th
• Code development screenshot (Jan 19)
• Paddle-Ball Collisions
  • Can you make the ball collide properly with the computer’s paddle?
  • Extra: Display a score somewhere and update it?

• Excellent Videos from Mr. Murray
