5x7 LED dot matrix Pong
Sat, Jun 16, 2007 at 2:04AMI have currently took on the challenge of familiarizing myself with a 5x7 LED Dot Matrix Pong project that I found. This was created by Havard Moen, Hakon A. Hjortland, and Alf Storm. When researching the project, I discovered that there was no schematic or parts list on the original site, so I went out and created my own! I e-mailed Hakon, and he replied with a general parts list. The replied message is shown below:

I think that your work on the 5x7 pong project was excellent! If you could, would you please send me a parts list for the 5x7 pong project?
Thank you for your time, Davis
- ATMega16
- Decoupling capacitors: 100nF ceramic for example
- 5x7 LED matrix
- Series resistors for the 5x7 LED: 1kOhm for example
- Score indicator and power indicator LEDs with series resistors (1kOhm for example)
- Pushbuttons
- 5V voltage regulator
- Power supply. For example 9V. Or direct 5V instead of using voltage regulator.
- Breadboard
- Wires
- Parts for home made upload cable: http://heim.ifi.uio.no/~haakoh/avr/uisp-parport-connect.txt Essentially DSUB25 connector (or is it 23? I don’t remember!) and wires.
- Computer
Good luck!
– Best regards, Hakon
This is a general outline of parts, but I needed something more specific, and I want to share the information I created. The specific parts list is shown below:
| Description | Digi-Key Part # | Price/ea [DK] | Radio Shack Part # | Price/ea [RS] | Qty (individual components) | |
| 1k Ohm 1/4W Resistor | 1.0KQBK-ND | .054 | 271-1321 | .99 | 10 | |
| 7805 5V Voltage Regulator | 497-1170-1-ND | 1.04 | 276-1770 | 1.59 | 1 | |
| 100nF Ceramic Disc Capacitor | 399-4454-1-ND | .13 | 272-135 | 1.29 | 2 | |
| Atmel ATMega16(L) | ATMEGA16-16PU-ND | 6.56 | N/A | N/A | 1 | |
| 1.5-3V 20mA LED | 754-1264-ND | .09 | 276-1622 | 2.59 | 3 | |
| N.O.Momentary Push Buttons | EG2490-ND | .031 | 275-1547 | 3.29 | 4 | |
| 5x7 LED Dot Matrix Display | 160-1002-ND | 2.29 | N/A | N/A | 1 | |
| Programming Cable | ||||||
| Wire |
Optional:
SPST Power Switch
Universal Breadboard
Enclosure: Mouser has some decent enclosures with battery space built in. They are like a GameBoy enclosure only "blank".
*Prices are in USD
Also, I had to draw up a schematic for this project, as there was not one supplied on the original site.
I will keep everyone posted on my progress, but in the mean time you should really check out the other things on Hakon’s website; did you know that he also made a laser animation projector?!
