Back in 2012 I started working with the STM32 line of microcontrollers and my first big project was a servo tester. That project worked out great and the tool I made has been in use for the last two years. Recently I decided to update the project and expand upon it. I added a color LCD with touchscreen, voltage and current sensing, a 2.4GHz spectrum analyzer, and for fun I decided to implement a simple version of Tetris. The end result:

It took quite a bit of work to get this project done. The prototype was a mess of jumper wires and breakout boards. I also started out with push buttons for the user interface but switched to using the touchscreen in an effort to keep things simple.

Here's a short video clip of me testing the Tetris game:

This project marked the first time I have ever had a PCB professionally fab'd. I was very relieved and pleased when everything worked perfectly with the first PCB revision. After I got the PCBs in the mail I checked them over, assembled one board, flashed the firmware... and it worked!

I bought a project box, Dremel'd and filed it to shape, then hot glued the electronics in place:

I'll post a video clip and the firmware within the next day or two.
