Hand Held Video Games Using A Pic Microcontroller And Graphic Lcd Module: A Capstone Design Project
James . McDonald · 2024
This paper describes a capstone design project carried out by several groups of senior undergraduate students in the author's computer engineering capstone design course during the Summer 1998 term at Kettering University.The basic project requirement was to design and build a hand-held video game using a Microchip PIC 16C74A microcontroller, a 128×128-pixel graphic LCD module based on the industry-standard Toshiba T6963C graphic LCD controller, and only incidental additional parts.The paper describes the students' backgrounds, the project assignment and the motivation for choosing it, and several video games that students designed and built.It concludes with an informal assessment of the project's success and preliminary ideas for related projects based on this experience.
