STEMQUEST Day 5: Snake Game

This Instructables provides a step-by-step walkthrough for making a snake game using Arduino Uno, LCD Display, and the joystick module. Daiwik and I will be going over the instructions on call as well, but this resource is there for you to consult in case there are any doubts while working on the project.

• Arduino Uno Board
• Breadboard
• LCD Display
• Arduino Joystick Module
• Jumper Wires Stack (Male to Male)
• 4 Female to Male Jumper Wires
• Potentiometer

After gathering the necessary materials, we can get started on making the project. First and foremost, make all the of following circuit connections:

Arudino Uno to Joystick Module:

• A0 --> VRx
• A1 --> VRy
• A2 --> SW
• 5V --> 5V
• GND --> GND

Arduino Uno to LCD

• GND --> VSS
• 5V --> VDD
• Potentiometer Middle Pin --> V0
• Digital Pin 12 --> RS
• GND --> R/W
• Digital Pin 11 --> E
• Digital Pin 5 --> D4
• Digital Pin 4 --> D5
• Digital Pin 3 --> D6
• Digital Pin 2 --> D7
• 5V --> A
• GND --> K

Follow the circuit diagram shown to make the connections for the LCD Display. Note that there is a resistor in the diagram. Ignore this part, you do not need to add in a resistor. Also, Daiwik and I will go over the specific connections for the Joystick module, but ignore the ones made in the diagram. Refer to Step 1 to see the true connections for this part.

Download the code for this project from the following link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16Z2Gnej2rNQn22nB...

Open the file in the Arduino IDE and upload the code. Wait for the program to boot up. Enjoy playing the Snake Game on your Arduino Uno!
