#15 Night And Day Project With PicoBricks
How about playing the Night and Day game you played at school electronically? The game of night and day is a game in which we put our head on the table when our teacher says night, and raise our heads when our teacher says day. This game will be a game that you will use your attention and reflex. In this project, we will use a 0.96” 128×64 pixel I2C OLED display. Since OLED screens can be used as an artificial light source, you can enlarge the characters on the screen using lenses and mirrors and reflect them on the desired plane. Systems that can reflect road and traffic information on smart glasses and automobile windows can be made using OLED screens.
Light sensors are sensors that can measure the light levels of the environment they are in, also called photodiodes. The electrical conductivity of the sensor exposed to light changes. We can control the light sensor by coding and developing electronic systems that affect the amount of light.
Details and Algorithm
First we will ask the player to press the button to start the game. Then we will make the OLED screen display NIGHT and DAY randomly for 2 seconds each. If the word NIGHT is displayed, the player should cover the LDR sensor; and if the word DAY is displayed, uncover it. The player has 2 secs to act. Each correct response of the player will earn 10 points. In case of wrong response, the game will be over and a different tone will sound from the buzzer. The score will be displayed on the OLED screen. If the player gives a total of 10 correct responses and gets 100 points, the phrase “Congratulations” will be displayed on the OLED screen and the buzzer will play notes in different tones.
Components
1X PicoBricks
Wiring Diagram
You can code and run Picobricks modules without wiring. If you are going to use the modules by separating them from the board, you should make the module connections with grove cables.
MicroBlocks Codes of the PicoBricks
You can access the Microblocks codes of the project by dragging the image to the Microblocks Run tab or click the button.
