An Embedded Controller based Electronic Snakes and Ladders Board

Every day, the development of embedded systems accelerates, and new and innovative solutions have also been generated to the existing challenges.. An embedded system is system that assists the manipulation of data or information. Any embedded invention or idea can be applied to real-time usage and needs. Gaming is currently the most popular aspect of the world's interests. Ancient games have always been encouraged by modern-day youngsters. So, ancient games can be modified and modernized using embedded applications in order to make them more interesting for future generations. The proposed idea is incorporated with microcontrollers i.e. MSP430, ICs such as 555 Timer and CD4017, drivers like Darlington Transistor Array pair (ULN2803A and UDN2981A), 74HC595 Shift register, 8 × 8 LED Matrix. Embedded systems help the module to consume less power, have low maintenance, and are easily available as these are the major features everyone wants to include. The simulation of the proposed system has been conducted and its results along with hardware models have been obtained.
