Working with Arduino was very straightforward, programming it was a lot of fun, especially that the limitations of the display and the microcontroller had to be considered during writing the program.</p> <p>Some photos of the finished project on the breadboard:<br> <a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--SrPC-D_X--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/yi4zhm4twqbhwulupeut.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--SrPC-D_X--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/yi4zhm4twqbhwulupeut.png" alt="Title screen"></a><br> <a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--uZ3qOhpZ--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/u1h98p9ygj4fia1bltpx.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--uZ3qOhpZ--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/u1h98p9ygj4fia1bltpx.png" alt="Game"></a></p> <p>The source code of the Arduino program is available on my <a href="https://github.com/Sceptero/arduino-pong">Github</a>.</p> <p>The schematic of the board:<br> <a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--KN0sj2Gl--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/n13tnt0kuht1q3se9psn.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--KN0sj2Gl--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/n13tnt0kuht1q3se9psn.png" alt="Schematic"></a></p> pong arduino microcontroller project
