Schematics
The following schematic diagram shows input/output connections from Arduino to two tilt switches and one 8*8 Green/Red LED matrix. To start with the simplest case, I will treat the LED matrix as 4*4 with single color (only use 16 green LEDs at the 4 corners of the matrix).
Notes:
- Each tilt switch has 4 output wires, so that it acts as 2 switches. SW1 and SW2 are associated with tilt switch A, and SW3 and SW4 are associated with tilt switch B.
- The inputs for LED matrix are labeled by their pin number(circled). Column and row numbers are also shown in the schematics.
- Resistors used in this schematics are chosen to be 1kOhms based on approximation. During prototyping, I may try resistors of different resistances to maximize the performance of my project.
