Motivation

• University project at the FH Technikum Wien
• Familiarisation with a uC
• Sensor <-> uC <-> Computer Communication

Dependencies

• HW:

  • XMC4500 - Infineon
  • LIS3DH - 3-axis acceleration sensor (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2809)
  • UART TTL Serial Cable (https://www.adafruit.com/product/954)

• SW:

  • python3
  • SEGGER J-Link
  • gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q3

Configuration

How to Play

• The goal is to capture the star as fast as you can
• You should avoid shooting meteors and other spaceships as it increases the timer at the end
• Navigation:
  • Button 1: Shooting in game
  • Button 2: Pause in game
  • Button 2 followed by button 1: finish game and go to menu
  • Button 2: Transition of scenes (e.g. from Menu to About and vice-versa)

Troubleshooting

• If you're having problem building the code, maybe this can help:

$ mkdir -p $HOME/Bin; cd $HOME/Bin  
$ curl -LO https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/5.0/5-2016-q3-update/+download/gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q3-20160926-linux.tar.bz2  
$ tar xjf gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q3-20160926-linux.tar.bz2  
$ echo 'export PATH=$HOME/Bin/gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q3/bin:$PATH' >> $HOME/.bashrc  
$ rm -rf gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q3-20160926-linux.tar.bz2  

• Or if you're using Ubuntu 16 or greater, just install gcc-arm-none-eabi:

$ sudo apt install gcc-arm-none-eabi
