Hi everyone! 👋
I have a bit of a better idea now for my final project (though I’m not ruling out the possibility of doing something completely different 😅). I’m not really sure how best to describe it, but simply put, you have the power to manipulate objects with your hands, and you use to protect yourself and fight against a villain, who you must also chase down (a bit of a reference to my midterm).
# Design Description
Arduino:
Inputs:
- Pressure sensor (inside of a stress ball), for detecting when the player closes their hand.
- Capacitive touch sensor strip, as a control for firing.
- Some game state info (from p5)
Outputs:
- Neopixel (addressable LED strip)
- Send values of pressure sensor and touch sensor to p5.
Circuit View:
Note: I used a flex sensor in place of the touch sensor as that wasn’t available right now.
Schematic:

p5:
Inputs:
- MoveNet pose detection, to get angle of the player’s hand in relation with the screen.
- Pressure sensor and touch sensor values from Arduino.
Outputs:
- The game on screen.
- Some game state info to the Arduino.
