[Sam] just finished off this awesome 6 foot tall Tetris game (https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-35435) using National InstrumentsmyRIO with FPGA. (http://www.ni.com/myrio/what-is/)
The build makes use of a 10 x 20 grid of RGB LEDs controlled by the myRIO. It’s played by using a web interface on any device, as long as you have WebSockets (http://www.websocket.org/) support. [Sam] had originally built it using an Arduino at the heart, but wanted a stand-alone device to do everything — no extra computer or Raspberry Pi for the web interface. That’s when he discovered the myRIO — it’s a pretty cool piece of hardware that we haven’t seen too much of yet, other than the recent Picasso with a Paintball gun project… (http://hackaday.com/2014/01/31/paintball-picasso-purposely-misses-its-prey/)
Don’t forget to watch the following video to see the game in action!
