💻I built a fully functional Lego PC with a joystick and buttons.
🖱️I designed a custom mouse for the Lego PC.
🕹️I created two games, Target Blast and Avoid It All, to play on the Lego PC.
📺I used a larger screen and a projector to play the games on a bigger display.
🔍I explained the mechanics of the joystick and mouse, including the use of sensors and magnets.
What materials did you use to build the Lego PC?
—I used Legos, Technic axles, rubber bands, and MindSensors Glide wheel as for the joystick mechanism.
How does the custom mouse work?
—The mouse has magnets that interact with magnets on a slider, allowing the mouse movement to be tracked. Clicking is detected through magnetic repulsion.
What are the games Target Blast and Avoid It All about?
—Target Blast involves hitting moving targets with a crosshair controlled by the joystick. Avoid It All requires maneuvering a player to avoid colliding with objects.
How did you project the games onto a bigger screen?
—I used a projector and connected the LEGO screen to a laptop running NXT software. The gameplay was recorded and overlaid on the camera footage for better visibility.
Can I build a similar Lego PC?
—Yes! You can use the design and ideas from my video as inspiration to build your own functional Lego PC.
