In this video, we’ll build a Snake Game using an 8x8 LED Matrix, a joystick, and Arduino. The joystick controls the snake’s movement, and the LED matrix displays the snake and food. Watch as we explain the components, connections, and Arduino code required for this fun project.
Components Used:
Arduino Uno
MAX7219 8x8 LED Matrix
Joystick Module
Jumper Wires
Circuit Connections:
DIN → Pin 12
CLK → Pin 11
CS/LOAD → Pin 10
Joystick X-axis → A0
Joystick Y-axis → A1
Key Features:
Real-time Movement: Control snake movement using the joystick in 4 directions.
Food Generation: Random food placement on the LED matrix.
Growth Mechanism: Snake grows when it eats food.
Game Over Detection: Ends when the snake collides with itself.
Wrap-around Screen: Snake reappears from the opposite side when it crosses the edges.
Code Overview:
Uses the LedControl.h library to control the LED matrix.
Maps joystick input to snake movement in four directions.
Includes logic for food generation, collision detection, and snake growth.
Demo Included:
Watch the joystick in action as it moves the snake, eats food, and grows in size.
