So if the gravity value increases “nitro” is activated. Lastly I am using intertia on the Z axis to get the gravity. I am used those converted values to get the tilt(foward, left, right or back) and then sending keyboard keys respectively. What is basically happening in the code is I am getting raw values from the module mentioned above and converting them using atan2() into inclination. # Given a point (x, y) return the angle of that point relative to x axis.

GP15 and GP14 are the last pins on the left side of the raspberry pi pico.Īfter doing so, connect your pico to your pc (you must have thonny configured)įrom adafruit_hid.keyboard import Keyboard as kbd Next you’ll need to connect the mpu6050 to the pico. To do that you simply need to download the uf2 provided from the link below, then press the BOOTSEL button and connect your pico to the pc (while pressing it) and copy the uf2 file to the pico and disconnect you pico. Secondly you need to get circuit python on the Pico. The pico then reads those outputs from the module and makes it usable for controlling a game.

The mpu6050 is a module the outputs acceleration and gyroscope.

I simply used a raspberry pi pico with circuit python connected to a mpu6050. So if I tilt my hand forward, left, right or back the car in the game with accelerate, turn left, turn right and deaccelerate respectively. Well if you saw the video then I made a way to control almost any game, in this case “Asphalt 8: Airbone”, with just my hand.
