Project Overview

For my Intro to Computer Science class, we were tasked with creating a project that involved Python 3. Me and my group decided to make an accelerometer-based controller for side-scroller games like the Chrome Dinosaur Game.

The design of our project works by having the MPU6050 accelerometer output the print statement “up” into the Arduino using Serial-based communication. The Python3 code will read the data from the port and trigger a library called PyAutoGUI, which will press the up arrow key for the computer. PyAutoGUI lets Python scripts control the mouse and keyboard as well as other GUI automation tasks.
