Inspiration

• At a previous hackathon, a participant (https://devpost.com/software/in-here-doom-qzj8si) submitted a motion controlled doom project. We wanted to make one for a similar purpose, but wanted a different game. We chose Minecraft.

What it does

• Controls a Minecraft character using your arm.

How I built it

• Python script on the dragonboard 410c reads accelerometer and button inputs and sends formatted data to a Java server running on a computer which converts the formatted data into button and mouse inputs.

Challenges I ran into

• Getting accelerometer data read by the dragonboard and processed in python.
• Sending data from the dragonboard to the front-end Java server.
• Formatting accelerometer data to be sent as readable commands.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

• Working with hardware for the first time as first-year computer scientists.
• Working with the dragonboard and sensors for the first time.
• Setting up web sockets with Java and sending key/mouse inputs to the screen.

What I learned

• Learned that dragonboards are a pain to use.
• Hardware hacks are very hard.

What's next for please.noticemesenpai.org

• Generalised XInput controller support for a large variety of games.
