I spent most of yesterday packing kits instead of writing tutorials, so today’s post is going to be around 2pm PST. Sorry for the delay!
Until then, please accept this picture of my boss to hold you over. His name is Bug.
Today, we’re going to continue building on our knowledge. Last time we figured out how to get a single pixel moving around. Since we’ve got that covered, we can move on to drawing shapes and connecting pixels. Let’s get started!
In this series of posts I’m going to teach you how to build your own Arduino Tetris game using a few electronic parts from our Arduino Starter Kits. In yesterday’s post we drew a dot moving on the screen, then controlled it’s location by moving a joystick.

Today, we’re going to try and build a game – Tetris. Check out our final product!
Gislain Benoit’s The Clock is an incredible piece of work. Imagine a world where electronics exist but integrated circuits were never invented. How would you make a digital clock?

In a recent post called Adapting Makelangelo CoreXY Kinematics I described in theory how to run a CoreXY system using the Makelangelo firmware.
Well Mike didn’t hesitate, he ran right out and showed it works!
This is how I feel about it:
