In previous post I was talking about an esp32 with display for demo’s.
But my friend Erik mentioned a cheap LCD matrix from Ali.
What about creating something cool with that!
My Maze project would look amazing on this!
I can draw walls now!
Or I could make a cool audio visualiser, like the posted WLED version
Ehh .. not posted (well I can’t post everything)
What about a game of life display?
Using a web interface for inputting the start situation of the cells
Conway’s Game of Life is a cellular automaton. It consists of a grid of cells, each of which can be alive or dead. The state of each cell evolves based on simple rules: any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies (underpopulation), any live cell with two or three live neighbours survives, and any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies (overpopulation). Additionally, any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes alive (reproduction). This simple set of rules can lead to complex patterns and behaviours.
But back to the demo …
What about a 6502 with 64×64 pixel display!
What would be needed?
- 6502, with rom and ram
- Some IO chip, don’t know which one yet
- The 64×64 pixel matrix
- A sound solution (simple chip tune player)
- 3D printed enclosure
Using some libraries and a framework setup, maybe there is a way to make a cool and cheap demo machine
Do you have any suggestions ideas?
