The MP3 file is located on an SD card on the SJSUOne Board. Using the Storage object provided in the SJSUDev environment, 4k bytes of a mp3 file are read and transferred to a queue. When data in the queue is available, 32 bytes of the mp3 file are sent through SPI to the decoder that translates that information and outputs sounds.

Project Title

SPARTAN WARRIOR

Abstract

This project involves creating a shooting game, with increasing levels of difficulty, as the user progresses. The point of the game will be to shoot all of the enemies on the LED screen and avoid getting shot by them. If all enemies are shot within the allotted time, then the user will progress to a higher level, where there will be more enemies. The user will be given 3 lives. After 3 deaths, the user will have to start a new game, in order to play again.

Design & Implementation

The design section can go over your hardware and software design. Organize this section using sub-sections that go over your design and implementation.

Hardware Design

Discuss your hardware design here. Show detailed schematics, and the interface here.

Hardware Interface

In this section, you can describe how your hardware communicates, such as which BUSes used. You can discuss your driver implementation here, such that the Software Design section is isolated to talk about high level workings rather than inner working of your project.



Software Design

Show your software design. For example, if you are designing an MP3 Player, show the tasks that you are using, and what they are doing at a high level. Do not show the details of the code. For example, do not show exact code, but you may show psuedocode and fragments of code. Keep in mind that you are showing DESIGN of your software, not the inner workings of it.

Implementation

This section includes implementation, but again, not the details, just the high level. For example, you can list the steps it takes to communicate over a sensor, or the steps needed to write a page of memory onto SPI Flash. You can include sub-sections for each of your component implementation.

Testing & Technical Challenges

The biggest technical challenge that we faced was interfacing the LPC 1758 micro-controller, with the Adafruit 32 x 32 LED matrix.

Adafruit (the 32 x 32 LED matrix's manufacturer) provides a basic tutorial on their website, in order to help with interfacing the LED matrix to a micro-controller. The tutorial briefly describes the functions of the pins on the board's input and output connector ports. It also describes how to connect jumper wires to the ribbon cable (which comes packaged with the board), which connects to the matrix's input and output connector ports. It assumes that the user will utilize an Arduino-type micro-controller to drive the matrix's RGB LED's.

<Bug/issue name>

Discuss the issue and resolution.

Conclusion

Conclude your project here. You can recap your testing and problems. You should address the "so what" part here to indicate what you ultimately learnt from this project. How has this project increased your knowledge?
