OVERVIEW
• Build a motion game controller to play the Trackmania game for a user with very,very shaky hands
• Use of a 3-axis accelerometer(ADXL345) and 2 buttons
• Week 2 project software reused for this project but slightly modified to suit the new concieved plan
• To build this special type controller for shaky hands (five ideas were concieved)
• Finally the concept was having accelerator/decelerator as foot pedal and directional control done by chest movement sideways
DESIGNING• Came up with the
idea to use polystyrene as the main material for 1 pedal and aliuminium foil for another. We place Accelerometter on the chest using a belt.
IMPLEMENTATION
OPERATING
• Using a potentiometer to accelerate and de-accelerate
• Write the code for the ADC Conversion
• The final implementation used two buttons instead of the potentiometer
• Accelerometer on the chest
• Video of the contoller in action
Thank you for listening!
