BC3930 - Module2

Blog: Module 2 Project - Sanrio Space Invaders

Tools Needed:

1. LILYGO ESP32 Board
2. Arduino IDE
3. Processing
4. TFT Espi Library (Downloadable) - Documentation
5. USB-c cord
6. 7 female/male wires (for breadboard)
7. 5 m/f jumper wires (for joystick)
8. Joystick
9. Button
10. Wires
11. Breadboard

Code Description

/arduinoButtonAndJoystick - holds the arduino file for code to uploaded to the ESP32 board for gathering serial communication

• buttonjoystick.ino - arduino file with ESP 32 code

/enclosure - holds the svg files related to the enclosure for laser cutting

/sanrioinvaders - holds the code for launching the space invaders interface and game through the Processing application

• spaceinvaders.pde - processing file with space invaders code

Fritzing Diagram

Setup

1. Follow the Fritzing diagram and add your button, joystick, wires, and ESP32 board to the breadboard
2. Connect your ESP32 board to your computer via a USB-C cord
3. Download the /arduinoButtonAndJoystick and /sanrioinvaders folders
4. Open these folders in the Arduino IDE application and Processing application, respectively
5. Confirm that your ESP32 board connects to the Arduino application by running the arduino code file buttonjoystick.ino (you should see printed values read from the serial communication)
6. Open the sanrioinvaders.pde from the /sanrioinvaders folder in the Processing application and ensure that it runs and complies
7. Once a screen pops up from the Processing application go ahead and press "s" on the keyboard to start!
