This project showcases how i2c communication can be used to coordinate usage of a single oled display between multiple microcontrollers.
For this project I want to recreate the classing game snake. Where you play as a snake and have to eat bits on the screen to grow in size. In addition, I want to keep track of and display high-scores after each game over.
In this project, 1 microcontrollers controls the game and the other controls the highscores. Both microcontrollers use a simple communication protocol to coordinate which microcontroller has control of the display at what time.
The following hardware was used for this project:
The acquired hardware will be wired up as according to the diagram below:
The responsibility of each device is as follows:
| Device | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Arduino uno | Handles game logic |
| Redboard | Handles high-score screen |
| Joystick | Input device for the system |
| Oled display | Output display for the system |
- Add protocol documentation
