Episode 396: Arduino Retro LED Matrix Handheld

Thanks for your patience; here you go! I'll see if I can't get The Powers That Be to add it to the supplemental materials up top!

Project Hawthorne Wiring Diagram

Is the schematic finished yet? I have stockpiled the components for this build and am eager to make it!

It'll take me some time, but yeah, I'll work up a schematic for ya!

I don't recall getting a warning like that when I was building it. Like I say, I can't really provide much support on that variation of the board simply because I'm unfamiliar with it.

Strangely enough, I was NOT supposed to upload the code to my LAFVIN Nano as Arduino Nano code. I switched the board to "Uno" and uploaded fine.

Still gives me a warning about those lines of code I mentioned, as well as a few other lines. Does it give you a warning when uploading?

Say, could you provide a pinout for the Nano with the different functions of the pins in this project, as well as how the matrix is wired?

I don't completely get the wiring of the components.

Thanks!

That code works on my Arduino-branded Nano as well as the white-label CH340-based compatibles that I have. You likely have a problem with either your IDE (not having the correct settings for your board) or the board itself. Are you able to get any sketches uploaded to your board at all?

Hello. This code doesn't seem to work.

         case 1: {  

            int locations[]= {15, -1, -1, -1, -1}; for (int z = 0; z <= 5; z++) { baddieDetails[z]=locations[z];} } break; 

         case 2: {  

            int locations[]= {5, 25, -1, -1, -1}; for (int z = 0; z <= 5; z++) { baddieDetails[z]=locations[z];} } break;        

         case 3: {  

            int locations[]= {5, 14, 25, -1, -1}; for (int z = 0; z <= 5; z++) { baddieDetails[z]=locations[z];} } break;                        

         case 4: {  

            int locations[]= {4, 15, 24, -1, -1}; for (int z = 0; z <= 5; z++) { baddieDetails[z]=locations[z];} } break;          

         case 5: {  

            int locations[]= {4, 10, 15, 20, 24};  for (int z = 0; z <= 5; z++) { baddieDetails[z]=locations[z];} } break;          

         case 6: {  

            int locations[]= {3, 9, 15, 19, 23};  for (int z = 0; z <= 5; z++) { baddieDetails[z]=locations[z];} } break;          

         case 7: {  

            int locations[]= {4, 8, 15, 18, 24};  for (int z = 0; z <= 5; z++) { baddieDetails[z]=locations[z];} } break;          

         case 8: {  

            int locations[]= {3, 8, 15, 18, 23};  for (int z = 0; z <= 5; z++) { baddieDetails[z]=locations[z];} } break;          

Every time I attempt to upload to the Arduino, it says an error occurred while uploading the sketch.

Any ideas?

I'm using the Arduino LAFVIN Nano, in case you're wondering.

Is it the code or my Arduino?

Hi

where can I download a game code?

Thanks!

TOMY Turbo will always have a special place in my heart--especially after Circuitbeard built it into a miniature Outrun cabinet!
