Building the Cyclone Game Circuit
Begin your Cyclone arcade game by assembling the main electronic components. In this lesson, you will attach the LEDs, Arduino-compatible Uno board, and breadboard to create the foundation for your game.
Tutorial Video
What You’ll Learn
- Identify the Uno board, breadboard, and LEDs used in the project
- Understand how the main electronic components fit together
- Build a sturdy foundation for the Cyclone game circuit
Follow Along
- Follow the video to position and attach the Uno board and breadboard.
- Arrange the LEDs around the Cyclone game board as shown.
- Check that each component is secure and positioned so it can be wired in the next lesson.
Check Your Work
Before moving on, make sure your project behaves like the example shown in the video. If something isn’t working, compare your wiring and code carefully with the video before changing multiple things at once.
What’s Next?
Next, you’ll connect the LEDs to the Uno and breadboard to complete the main light circuit.
