Button Clash is an exciting two-player game where the person who pushes their button faster wins! Built it with the Arduino Plug and Make kit.
The Arduino Plug and Make Kit was designed to open up infinite possibilities, breaking down the idea that technology is a “black box” reserved for experts. With its snap-together system, this kit gives everyone – beginners and seasoned makers alike – the power to create and innovate without barriers. Forget being a passive user! With the Plug and Make Kit, technology is accessible and ready to bring your ideas to life. Meet Giulio Pilotto, Plug and Make Kit Star Giulio Pilotto is one of Arduino’s senior software engineers and works closely on Arduino Cloud projects. When we held a “Make Tank” workshop at our Turin office to showcase the potential of the Plug and Make Kit, he joined in with inspiration from a recent escape room experience. The result was Riddle Treasure, a puzzle-based game that allows you to recreate the excitement of an escape room anywhere you are. At this year’s Maker Faire, Pilotto had the opportunity to present Riddle Treasure at the Arduino booth. While he had showcased his own creations at previous Maker Faire editions, this time felt special: “The Maker Faire is always a wonderful high-energy event,” he says. “I was happy to represent the Arduino team as we focus more than ever on the community: all our products were presented in the light of what people can do with them.” Riddle Treasure To be honest, this is probably the most advanced project our in-house “Make Tank” came up with (so far!). After all, it has to be somewhat complicated to emulate intricate escape room puzzles! However, following Pilotto’s step-by-step instructions on Project Hub and leveraging the easy snap-together mechanism of Modulino nodes, anyone can recreate Riddle Treasure – or even invent a personal, unique variation. The goal of the game is to unlock a safe. But to get there, you need to complete three steps in order. 1. Combination Lock: First, you must rotate the encoder in Modulino Knob like a
FAQs
Is the Nano ESP32 compatible with MicroPython?
Absolutely! This board fully supports MicroPython. For detailed information on setting it up and getting started with MicroPython, please visit docs.arduino.cc/nano-esp32.
How can I power the Nano ESP32?
The Nano ESP32 can be powered in two ways. Firstly, you can power it via the USB port, which activates the VBUS pin as an output. Alternatively, you can supply power through the VIN pin, accepting an input voltage range of 5 to 18 Volts.
Does it use the official ESP32 core?
Yes, if you are an ESP32 user, simply install the latest version of the Arduino Nano ESP32 core through the board manager in the Arduino IDE. For more information, please refer to the official documentation page.
Will the Nano ESP32 be compatible with sketches from generic ESP32 boards?
The Arduino Nano ESP32 can run code written for other ESP32 devices without any fuss. It's designed to be fully compatible with the ESP32 ecosystem, making it easy to port existing code.
