Arduino: Game for Reinforcing Visual Skills.
This project refers to an Arduino sketch that implements a game for reinforcing visual skills. Basically, it is a reflex game. It can be played by a user (single-player) or multiple users simultaneously (multi-player). Each player holds a button. The system turns on and off the appropriate LED at pseudorandom times. The players have to click their button as fast as possible in order to earn points.
Arduino: LEDs animations controlled with a button and a 8-bit 74HC595 shift register.
This project refers to an Arduino sketch which is used to produce LEDs animations. So, we use an 8-bit shift register (namely the 74HC595). This way we can drive 8 different LEDs in the output committing only three PINS of the Arduino.
If we want to drive more LEDs, we connect into a cascade form two or more (depending on the number of LEDs we want to support) shift registers and act accordingly.
