This project integrates various subsystems using a PIC32MX170F256B microcontroller to create an interactive gaming system. The schematic incorporates components for sensor feedback, audio playback, LED lighting, and motion control. Below is a detailed description of the subsystems:

1. Microcontroller Unit (MCU)

• The central controller is a PIC32MX170F256B, which manages the inputs and outputs of the entire system. It interfaces with multiple peripherals, including sensors, servos, LEDs, and audio boards, ensuring seamless operation and real-time processing.

2. Input and Sensor System

• IR Coin Sensor: Detects the presence of a coin for game activation. It includes both an emitter and a receiver for accurate sensing.

• IR Slice Sensors: Two sets of IR sensors (emitters and receivers) monitor specific game interactions, such as slicing motions or proximity triggers.

• Potentiometer: Used to adjust in-game difficulty parameter.

• Game Start Button: A simple push-button initiates the gameplay sequence.

3. Feedback and Actuation

• Servos: Two servo motors control physical displays:

  • Score Display Servo: Reflects the current game score.

  • Time Display Servo: Indicates the remaining gameplay time.

• RGB LEDs: Two non-addressable RGB LED strips provide visual feedback and create immersive lighting effects during gameplay.

4. Audio System

• An Adafruit AudioFX Mini Sound Board enables playback of 3 sound effects for various game events, enhancing the user experience.

• A standard headphone jack provides output for external headphones.
