Pinouts on Arduino board, LCD confusion and more
Posted: Sun Sep 27, 2015 9:59 am
Hi, I am planning on building my own Gamebuino (coz that's half the fun, right?)
So I ordered a Arduino Pro Mini (3.3V and 5V version) and a Nano development board.
My question is what pins on the Ardunio do I connect to the display, sound and buttons for compatibility with the Gamebuino libraries and emulators? I want my games to be compatible with the Gamebuino device of course.
Yes, I have studied the GB schematics, but they show the ATMega microcontroller pins and I am a novice and unsure how to map them.
Also the pinout of the NOkia 5110 LCD on the schematic looks different to the pinouts published elsewhere on the web and in the data sheet. Here is what is shown on the schematic:
1 VCC
2 CLK
3 MOSI
4 DC
5 CD
6 EXT CLOCK
7 GND
8 VOUT
9 RST
But the pinouts shown elsewhere is:
1 VCC
2 GND
3 SCE
4 RST
5 DC
6 DN MOSI
7 SCLK
8 LED
SO, not surprising I'm confused. Many questions from a novice, any help appreciated.
Thanks for an awesome device and resources,
cheers
