🦖 Dino-Game on STM32 🦖

This project implements a Dino-Game using the STM32F401RE development board, a 16x2 LCD display, and a joystick sensor. The game features a simple interface where a dinosaur dodges obstacles. This repository includes all the necessary code and documentation to recreate the project.

Hardware Setup ♾️

Before to connect HW, take a look on the pin legends of the boards

Take a look also at the pin analog and digital that we need to connect

1. Connecting LCD display to STM32 board

LCD Display Pin	STM32 Board Pin > Pin CubeMX Config	Connection Diagram
VSS	GND
VDD	5V
V0	Potentiometer (for contrast control)
RS	D4 > PB_5
RW	GND
E	D5 > PB_4
D4	D9 > PC_7
D5	D10 > PB_6
D6	D11 > PA_7
D7	D12 > PA_6
A	3.3V
K	GND

2. Connecting Joystick Sensor to STM32 board

Joystick Pin	STM32 Board Pin > Pin CubeMX Config	Connection Diagram
VRx	A5 > PC_0
VRy	A4 > PC_1
SW	D2 > PA_10
GND	GND pin of Board

3. Install and Use 🎮

After you have connected all the wires and the sensor to the board, as shown in the schema, you can clone our repository and install the program on your board using STM32CubeIDE.

NOTE : If you want do the setup on your own , you can skip this and follow an example of settings that we show, click on Do on your own!
