Quantity | Component name | |
1 | × | Globe cut in half Obviously we needed a globe with openings at the bottom and the top in order to let the arch for the LEDs to go through at the bottom and the motor at the top |
1 | × | Raspberry Pi 3 Model B This card contains all of the coding part and we can code in python which allows us to make interfaces for the Game |
1 | × | Stepper motor (ref: 28BYJ-48) This component is a key component as it makes the globe turn to get to the x axis of the country (latitude). This stepper has a decent torque so that it doesn't damage and/or become inaccurate |
1 | × | Driver (ref: ULN2003A) This allows us to control the motor and make it turn in clockwise and counter-clockwise directions |
1 | × | LED band (ref: WS2812B) These LEDs are used to pin point the country chosen in the y axis (longitude) |
1 | × | LCD screen (ref: B0106) 3.5'' display with resolution 480x320 (scaled to 1920x1080) that is used to show the game interface |
1 | × | Wood for the structure We chose wood as it is a cheap and easy material to get we used in this project 3 planks that make the structure when assembled together |
1 | × | Metallic arch This goes inside the globe from bellow and holds the LEDs in place inside, this part never moves. |
9 | × | Cables To plug everything together (else everything electronic components above are pointless). We need 3 cables for the LEDs and 6 for the stepper. |
6 | × | Screws In order to assemble the wood structure and maintain the motor in place |
1 | × | Wrapping tools (ref: WSU-30) Tool needed in order to wrap the cables around the pins of the Raspi, the driver and the LEDs |
1 | × | Soldering Iron Tool to solder the cables to the LEDs (3 cables being +5V, GND and Vin) |
