Introduction: Play Pong With Scratch for PcDuino

By

pcDuino team developed a custom version of Scratch for pcDuino. It’s fairly easy to install it. We simply need to type:

$sudo apt-get install pcduino-scratch

In this tutorial, we are going to see how to create a pong game on pcDuino using Scratch.

Compared to the MIT scratch, the Scratch of pcDuino has a hardware tab, and this makes the hardware programming really easy.

Step 1: Step 1: Pong

In this game, we will use hand to control the movement of the boards to
reflect the ball back. When we wave the hand closer to the sensor, the board will move down, and move up when we move away from the sensor.

Step 2:

  1. 1 x pcDuino v2
  2. 1 x Plastic mounting plate for pcDuino/Arduino w rubber feet
  3. 1 x Breadboard
  4. 2 x Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F Analog Distance Sensor 10-80cm

Step 3: Step 3: Wiring Diagram

The following diagram shows how to wire infrared sensors to pcDuino:

A picture of the real setup is shown below:
