About This Project

Turn coding into play with NanoBoy, a compact handheld console built on the popular Arduino Nano. Designed by Mikrotronics Pakistan for students, makers and hobbyists, NanoBoy combines a 128×64 pixel OLED display, six responsive buttons, a user LED and a piezo buzzer on one tidy board. No breadboards, no messy wiring — just plug in via USB and start building. With the free NanoBoy Library, you can: Display text, draw graphics, sprites and tile maps Read button inputs for menus and game controls Control the onboard LED for feedback Play tones and sound effects with the buzzer Detect collisions between sprites for real gameplay NanoBoy isn’t just a gadget; it’s a complete learning platform. Beginners can start with simple sketches like “Hello NanoBoy” and blinking LEDs. As confidence grows, you can build full-fledged games like Snake, Tic-Tac-Toe or your own creative ideas — all while learning real Arduino programming skills, graphics handling, input processing and sound generation. Whether you’re a student wanting to understand microcontrollers, a teacher looking for a classroom tool, or a hobbyist eager to prototype handheld games, NanoBoy gives you an affordable, open, and fun way to learn embedded systems. Features: Based on Arduino Nano (ATmega328P) 128×64 OLED display (SSD1306 or SH1106) 6 buttons (Up, Down, Left, Right, A, B) Onboard LED and piezo buzzer Powered via USB or VIN Open-source NanoBoy Library with examples
