Tetris Game Using Raspberry Pi Pico 2

Creating a Tetris game using an OLED display and three buttons is an exciting project! Below is a step-by-step guide that covers the necessary components, wiring, and code.

Components Needed:

1. Microcontroller: Raspberry Pi Pico 2
2. OLED Display: 128x64 I2C OLED display.
3. Buttons: 3 push buttons.
4. Resistors: 10k ohm resistors for pull-down/pull-up resistors. (optional)
5. Breadboard and wires. (optional)

Step 1: Setup the Hardware

1.1. Wiring the OLED Display

• VCC to 5V on the Raspberry Pi Pico 2.
• GND to GND on the Raspberry Pi Pico 2.
• SCL to GP5 (or SCL pin on your Raspberry Pi Pico 2).
• SDA to GP4 (or SDA pin on your Raspberry Pi Pico 2).

1.2. Wiring the Buttons (optional if not using the extended board)

Each button will be connected to a digital pin on the Raspberry Pi Pico 2. For simplicity, we'll use pull-up resistors.

• Button 1:
  • One leg to GND.
  • The other leg to GP20
• Button 2:
  • One leg to GND.
  • The other leg to GP21 
• Button 3:
  • One leg to GND.
  • The other leg to GP22

Step 4: Connect the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 to computer

Step 4: Testing

• Upload the code to your Raspberry Pi Pico 2.
• Ensure the OLED displays the game board and that the buttons move the pieces as expected.
• Debug any issues by checking connections or serial outputs.
