  1. Four Sided Rotating Gaming Device Architecture Motivation • Communication: • Star network with Arduino as the central controller • I2C network between central game control system and LCD controllers • A gaming platform with four screens and physical rotation. • User can see only one screen at a time. • The physical rotation of the screens requires the user to think in additional spatial dimension, which can be incorporated into both classic and novel games. • Objective: • Gaming device with a unique method of interaction: • Four independent screens, only one visible at a time • Games running on all four screens concurrently to really challenge the user • Game • Game on each screen can be considered independent, but all screens share common win/lose game state • Games on screens other than currently visible screen are 3x slower Development Environment Results • Hardware: • ArduinoDuemilanove Microcontroller • FreeScale 3.2" Graphic LCD (with an embeded microcontroller) • Mercotac Model-830 Rotary Electrical Connector • PlayStation 2 Dual Shock controller • Stepper motor for precise rotation • Initial Set of Experiments: • Tested PS2 Controller/Arduino Interface by printing out responses to input on HyperTerminal • Tested motor precision by making numerous rotations and measuring final offset angle • Acceptance Test with Human Interaction: • Mechanical: • Geneva Mechanism for near perfect 90 degrees rotation • Laser cut acrylic plates for overall structure • Software: • Code Warrior Development Studio • Arduino Software • C/C++ language http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~ece549/spring11/team7/ Hong Jai Cho, Jonathan Francis, Young Woong Park, Anthony Rowles
