Gamebox

Hardware platform and game library based on Arduino and LED display 64x64

This project uses Adafruit-like display: https://learn.adafruit.com/32x16-32x32-rgb-led-matrix

The display is logically split into two parts with separate controllers. Lower part of display is connected through the upper one with the cable as follows:

LLLLUUUU
LLLLUUUU

Therefore this is logically 128x32 display. Arduino shifts 128 pixels into display registers at every iteration.

Demonstration of the working prototype: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy7oADJboqM

Arduino Uno wiring

Display-Arduino

  • R1 - 2
  • G1 - 3
  • B1 - 4
  • R2 - 5
  • G2 - 6
  • B2 - 7
  • A - A0
  • B - A1
  • C - A2
  • D - A3
  • LAT - 10
  • CLK - 8
  • OE - 9

Buttons are connected via 74165, NES joystick is connected to (CLOCK, LATCHJ, SER)

  • CLOCK - 11
  • LATCHB - 12
  • LATCHJ - 13
  • DATA - A4

Arduino Mega wiring

Display-Arduino

  • R1 - 53
  • G1 - 52
  • B1 - 51
  • R2 - 22
  • G2 - 23
  • B2 - 24
  • A - A0
  • B - A1
  • C - A2
  • D - A3
  • LAT - 5
  • CLK - 2
  • OE - 3

Buttons are connected via 74165, NES joystick is connected to (CLOCK, LATCHJ, SER)

  • CLOCK - A8
  • LATCHB - A9
  • LATCHJ - A10
  • DATA - A11

Sound chip connection

Configuration with Arduino Mega supports chiptune music for YM-2149.

YM-Arduino:

  • BC2 - +5V
  • BDIR - A7
  • BC1 - A6
  • DATA(8 pins) - PORTC(8 pins)

YM has its own clock generator.
