GYRO GAME CONTROLLER

Description

This project implements a game control system using the Raspberry Pi Pico / Raspberry Pi Pico W. It can be used to map the MPU6050 sensor to control the W, A, S, D keys via USB connection to the device, allowing for intuitive and innovative movement in games.

Features

• Tilt detection with the MPU6050 sensor.
• Mapping of WASD keys based on the tilt.
• Execution via CircuitPython directly on the Raspberry Pi Pico.
• Ready to GO with just a USB connection needed.

Requirements

• Raspberry Pi Pico / Raspberry Pi Pico W.
• MPU6050 sensor.
• CircuitPython installed on the Raspberry Pi Pico.
• Libraries inside the Raspberry Pi Pico folder.

How to Set Up and Run

1. Install CircuitPython on the Raspberry Pi Pico by following this guide and placing this UF2.

2. Copy the necessary files to the Pico.

3. Install libraries:

   • Copy the libraries from the project folder lib\9.x to the lib/ folder on the Pico.

4. Run the code:

   • Save and place the Python code (main.py and boot.py) at the root of the Pico.
   • Restart the device (unplug and plug the USB back in) to start the controller.

Usage

1. Tilt the Raspberry Pi Pico forward/backward/left/right to trigger the W, A, S, D keys.
2. The movement will be interpreted and sent as keyboard input to the game.
3. To stop the controller, disconnect the Pico or remove the code.
