This is a small 8x8 version of Conway's Game of Life running on an Arduino Nano and displayed on a DM11A88 8x8 LED Matrix.
In the libraries
folder I included the TimerOne.h
and Matrix.h
library files that were provided to me by the manufacturer.
I included the Adobe Illustrator file that I used to lasercut a 1/8 inch piece of basswood to build the enclosure.
The device is powered from a USB Micro B port. A 3 position toggle switch is used to set the devices into one of 3 modes:
- Off
- On with borders
- On without borders (the bottom and top and left and right edges of the array are stitched together, yielding an toroidal array)
