Game project kit

The kit has four buttons and LEDs to make up a game, which can be used as both a memory game and a reactions game. A PIC micro-controller, pre-programmed with special software controls the game. The on / off switch and battery pack mount directly onto the board allowing it to be used as built or the game can be housed into an enclosure designed by the student.

This kit includes:

  • 1 x 2AA battery holder (PCB mount)
  • 6 x 680ohm resistors
  • 1 x 47ohm resistor
  • 1 x 5mm red LED
  • 1 x 5mm green LED
  • 1 x 5mm yellow LED
  • 1 x 5mm orange LED
  • 4 x 6mm PCB mount switch - height 9.5mm
  • 1 x PIC 12F675 pre-programmed with game code
  • 1 x 8 pin IC holder
  • 1 x right angled PCB mount switch
  • 1 x M3 nut and bolt
  • 1 x game PCB

PCB dimensions: 58.5mm x 58.5mm.

Requires x2 AA batteries, available separately.

Hi,

Could you possibly confirm whether there are any teaching notes with this game project concerning the programming? I am using Circuit Wizard for PIC programming but struggling to create teaching resources without imperfections in the flowchart aspect. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best Wishes,
Martyn

The chip is pre-programmed with code specifically for this application it is not a PICAXE or Genie chip, but written in assembly language code. It is therefore not possible to reprogram the chip without Microchip development tools. The code is fairly complex and not something that you would be able to recreate using a flow chart. I would have thought that you would be best looking at how flowcharts work with a simpler task and then explain that the way that the software in the game is written is done using text based instructions. The program is about 500 lines in length, so it's not something you really want to be studying.
