NanoBoy – The Arduino Gaming Console for Learning and Creativity

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.
