InteractiveMatrix

An embedded c++ platformio project for a low resolution interactive screen made from LED-strips.

Hardware

Microcontroller

Arduino Mega 2560

Periphery

Adafruit LED strips
Joystick
rotary switch
SD card reader

Wiring Table

Label	From	To	Description
1	+	5V	serves microcontroller with power
2	-	GND	microcontroller ground current
3	LED	6	information flow between LED and microcontroller
4	LED	-	LED ground current
5	power supply	-	5V current source
6	power supply	+	ground current source
7	joystick	-	serves joystick with power
8	joystick	+	joystick ground current
9	joystick	A0	joystick x
10	joystick	A1	joystick y
11	joystick	A3	joystick trigger
12	joystick	A4	joystick buttons

+: refers to the 5V line on the breadboard
-: refers to the common ground line on the breadboard

Dependencies

These should bes resolved via the Platformio library manager.

TODO

when creating an InteractiveMatrix specify periphery objects, e.g. controller (maybe setter functions, e.g. matrix->setController())
