If Kickstarter is today most appropriate place to find new (or upcoming) toys to mental condition about, Gameduino is may a of the most extraordinary pieces of hardware I've seen hosted there. The block mounts its own FPGA able of 80ies type graphics and sounds for formulating old-school, 8-bit video-games, pre-loaded with countless sprites and set up for easy connection to a VGA display.
Gameduino is a diversion adapter for Arduino – or anything else with an SPI interface – built as a singular block that stacks up on tip of the Arduino and has plugs for a VGA guard and stereo speakers.
The sound and graphics are unquestionably old-school, but interjection to the ultimate FPGA technology, the goddess capabilities are a step on top of the in machines from the past .
video outlay is 400×300 pixels in 512 colors
all shade processed internally at 15-bit precision
compatible with any typical VGA guard (800×600 @ 72Hz)
background graphics
512×512 pixel disposition background
256 characters, any with eccentric 4 shade palette
pixel-smooth X-Y wraparound scroll
foreground graphics
each goddess is 16×16 pixels with per-pixel transparency
each goddess can use 256, 16 or 4 colors
four-way stagger and flip
96 sprites per scan-line, 1536 texels per line
pixel-perfect goddess impact detection
audio outlay is a stereo 12-bit magnitude synthesizer
16 eccentric voices 10-4000 Hz
per-voice sine call or white noise
Have a look at the good anxiety print , its minute hardware anxiety or its set of representation programs and library.
