arduino uno tetris tft lcd free sample
A goal I set for myself for easter 2018: get aTetris gamerunning on a 32x32 LED matrix panel. This one uses Arduino/Genuino Uno as controller, which is rather limited in memory as I experienced. Large parts of the project consisted of finding ways around those limitations. Maybe I"ll do a Arduino Mega adaptation for more memory in the near future.
This is a moderately advanced project and requires experience soldering and programming in the Arduino environment. You"ll be working with organic matter and all its inherent quirks, so measurements may need to be adapted to fit the pumpkin you"re using.
The LED matrices you"ve made will be controlled by two Mini 8x8 LED Matrix Backpacks from Adafruit. Each controller allows you to drive 64 LEDs with only two wires from the Arduino, and you can chain multiple controllers together on those same two wires.
Download the Adafruit LED Backpack library and Adafruit GFX libraries and install them on your computer by copying each to the "libraries" folder of your computer"s Arduino sketch folder. Upload the "matrix8x8" file to your Arduino and verify that the LED backpack is working. The pins of the LED matrix might not make good contact in the female headers, so you may need to wiggle or partially remove it in order to make contact and allow all rows and columns to light.
Download the attached Pumpktris.ino.zip, unzip it, and open the file in the Arduino development environment. Compile and upload it to your Arduino. You should now be able to play on the mini LED matrix you set up in the previous step. I"ve tried to comment the code as much as possible, but here"s a general overview of the main processes:
Put a bowl or plastic food storage container at the bottom of the pumpkin to keep any dangling electronics from touching the bottom.Plug the joystick into your Arduino, the LED backpacks into the Arduino, and the LED matrices into the backpacks. Plug a power source into your Arduino. Now play yourself some Pumpktris!
Thank you! I originally wanted to grow pumpkins into Tetris shapes (no idea where that idea came from, though). By the time I remembered, it was too late in the season so the idea morphed into making Tetris on a pumpkin.0
By the way: in the video, did you recreate the Tetris theme, or did you find it online? I found it quite fitting for a halloween project!More CommentsPost Comment

In this guide we’re going to show you how you can use the 1.8 TFT display with the Arduino. You’ll learn how to wire the display, write text, draw shapes and display images on the screen.
The 1.8 TFT is a colorful display with 128 x 160 color pixels. The display can load images from an SD card – it has an SD card slot at the back. The following figure shows the screen front and back view.
This module uses SPI communication – see the wiring below . To control the display we’ll use the TFT library, which is already included with Arduino IDE 1.0.5 and later.
The TFT display communicates with the Arduino via SPI communication, so you need to include the SPI library on your code. We also use the TFT library to write and draw on the display.
The 1.8 TFT display can load images from the SD card. To read from the SD card you use the SD library, already included in the Arduino IDE software. Follow the next steps to display an image on the display:
In this guide we’ve shown you how to use the 1.8 TFT display with the Arduino: display text, draw shapes and display images. You can easily add a nice visual interface to your projects using this display.
There are many colour LCDs on the market that can be used with an Arduino, and in this tutorial we’ll explain how to use a model that is easy to use, has a touch screen, doesn’t waste all your digital output pins – and won’t break the bank. It’s the 2.8″ TFT colour touch screen shield from Tronixlabs:
As you can imagine, it completely covers an Arduino Uno or compatible board, and offers a neat way to create a large display or user-interface. The display has a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, supports up to 65536 colours and draws around 250mA of current from the Arduino’s internal 5V supply.
And unlike other colourLCDs, this one doesn’t eat up all your digital output pins – it uses the SPI bus for the display (D10~D13), and four analogue pins (A0~A3) if you use the touch sensor. However if you also use the onboard microSD socket more pins will be required.
With some imagination, existing Arduino knowledge and the explanation within you’ll be creating all sorts of displays and interfaces in a short period of time. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
Setting up the hardware is easy – just plug the shield on your Arduino. Next, download the library bundle from here. Inside the .zip file is two folders – both which need to be copied into your …\Arduino-1.0.x\libraries folder. Then you will need to rename the folder “TFT_Touch”to “TFT”. You will notice that the Arduino IDE already contains a library folder called TFT, so rename or move it.
Now let’s test the shield so you know it works, and also to have some quick fun. Upload the paint example included in the TFT library – then with a stylus or non-destructive pointer, you can select colour and draw on the LCD – as shown in this video. At this point we’d like to note that you should be careful with the screen – it doesn’t have a protective layer.
There are functions to display characters, strings of text, integers and float variables:Tft.drawChar(char, x, y, size, colour); // displays single character variables
The drawFloat() function is limited to two decimal places, however you can increase this if necessary. To do so, close the Arduino IDE if running, open the file TFTv2.cpp located in the TFT library folder – and search for the line:INT8U decimal=2;
There are functions to draw individual pixels, circles, filled circles, lines, rectangles and filled rectangles. With these and a little planning you can create all sorts of images and diagrams. The functions are:Tft.setPixel(x, y, COLOUR);
By now I hope you have the answer to “how do you use a touch screen LCD with Arduino?” and had some fun learning with us. You can get your LCD from Tronixlabs. And if you enjoyed this article, or want to introduce someone else to the interesting world of Arduino – check out my book (now in a third printing!) “Arduino Workshop”.
