relientm96 / gameconsole

Self made electronic game console embedded system. Built with Altium Designer and programmed in C through AVR Studio..

Gane Console Project

A game console project on a self made embedded system.

1. Designed PCB in Altium Designer
2. Programmed in AVR Studio and C language
3. Uses SPI for serial communication between microcontroller peripheral devices
4. Uses interrupts for button actions
5. Components
   • ATMEGA16 microcontroller
   • Soft Power switch (uses D-FlipFlop to store On/Off state)
   • LCD Screen with Backlight
   • Power Circuit with boost converter
   • JTAG interface

8 bit AVR microcontroller ATMEGA16 settings reffered from documentation: https://www.gme.cz/data/attachments/dsh.958-112.1.pdf

Menu Scroll Through

• Buttons navigating through game console
• Timer implemented on welcome screen.

Brightness PWM:

• Controlled using fast PWM Mode on ATMEGA16 chip

Games:

Flappy Bird

• Simple Version with obstacles rendered only from the bottom

Pong

• Simple Pong Game with two programmed AI.
  • First AI: just moves up and down
  • Second AI: position of bar based on currentPositionOfBall + errorTerm
    • ErrorTerm = 0 or 1 based on randomness of srand

Guess

1. Three Options are given, one will be right.
2. If right answer selected, you move on.
3. If wrong answer selected, you go into Monty Hall Mode (one wrong answer is removed giving you a second chance)

Etch A Sketch

1. A Digital implementation of the traditional etch a sketch game.

How are you so smart?

Can you please explain to me how one man can build something so amazing in a single semester?

I have to admit, I am a bit suspicious... of how you are so smart AND beautiful at the same time!

Please teach me everything you know.

All the best,

M
