HARDWARE INTEGRATION
Hardware Design Overview
At a high level hardware integration requirements fell into two categories:
1. Reduce risk of unreliable cable connections and eliminate possibility of damage to components through unexpected disconnections, power surges, etc.
2. Provide a more fluid physical interface for the user to interact with the game via hardware
To accomplish these goals, two boards were designed: a breakout board and a gamepad controller. The breakout board serves as a connection hub between all system hardware components; power, the RGB matrix, the SJTWO board, etc. while the joystick provides a cleaner package to present the user with the games inputs. The diagram below shows the relationship between the main subsystems:
Breakout Board Design
The breakout board design requirement was to interface all external hardware components with the embedded system (SJTWO). The hardware connections are:
1. The 64x64 RGB Matrix
2. Output power to the RGB Matrix
3. User game controller (see next section)
4. Input power supply (5V)
5. The SJTWO embedded system
Design
- Balancing priorities between HW design and getting a working prototype
Assembly
- Wireless antenna connector on master board not accounted for in footprint, it may have to be removed to avoid interference with one connector.
