64x32 RGB LED Matrix Bare Metal Tetris.

Video:

Kernel7 binary https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6QxbmaAgfWLX2dXX05Udnh4TTA/view?usp=sharing

It does have sound, it will loop the GameBoy Tetris theme forever if you care to listen to it.

Components

1 × 64x32 RGB LED Matrix 64x32 RGB LED Pannel from Adafruit. This is what displays all the pretty colors.
1 × Female DC Power adapter - 2.1mm jack to screw terminal block Power connector.
1 × 5V 4A (4000mA) switching power supply 5V 4A. Beefy power supply.
1 × Raspberry Pi 2 - Model B RPI2. The brains of this project. Just load the Tetris Kernel7.img on to a micro SD card.
1 × Premium Female/Male Jumper Wires F/M Jumper wires. Really anything will do that you have around.

Step 1

Raspberry PI GPIO Wiring
SNES/NES controller
Connect SNES/NES 5V to RPI 3.3V (NOT 5V!)
Connect SNES/NES GND to RPI GND
Connect SNES/NES Clock to GPIO 2
Connect SNES/NES Latch to GPIO 3
Connect SNES/NES Data to GPIO 4
RGB LED Matrix:
Connect ADDRESS A to GPIO 5
Connect ADDRESS B to GPIO 6
Connect ADDRESS C to GPIO 13
Connect ADDRESS D to GPIO 19
Connect R1 to GPIO 10
Connect G1 to GPIO 09
Connect B1 to GPIO 11
Connect R2 to GPIO 25
Connect G2 to GPIO 08
Connect B2 to GPIO 07
Connect Enable to GPIO 16
Connect Clock to GPIO 20
Connect Latch to GPIO 21
Connect ALL LED Pannel GNDs via header to RPI GPIO GNDs, you should have 3 (Trust me, the more you have, the less flicker and glitches you will have with the LED Matrix.) (And don't bother with connecting the GND from the PSU to a RPI GPIO)
Check your wiring before powering up.
