Summary

  • Pong, one of the first widely popular video games, now has a dedicated handheld console created by Arnov Sharma, who was inspired by the Sega Genesis.
  • The device uses an ESP32 development board, paired with an SSD1306 OLED screen of 124 x 32 resolution, along with two SMD push buttons for controls.
  • The assembly features a black bean-shaped housing that combines 3D-printed orange components with integrated PCBs for a retro feel.
  • While simple, the project is a good example of how careful selection of materials and colours, along with consideration of core functionality, can create an attractive, stand-outEnd product and a fun gaming experience, highlighting advanced techniques in FR4/PCB enclosure construction that can be used in other projects.
