Tilt Sensing Bracelet

Step 6 Read Input

For Arduino microcontroller code and Processing visualization code please look here >> http://www.kobakant.at/DIY/?cat=347

Plug the headers into the right places and wear the bracelet. If all goes well you should be reading the inputs from the bracelet. Press the space bar to enter the visualization mode and press g to return to the graph mode.

Let me know if there are any complications. And enjoy!

what exactly is the point of this? does it allow you to control a mouse or what i am a little confused

[Plusea]

it is a tilt sensor. it makes electrical contact with different patches, depending on what angle you hold your wrist at. it is component that is not (yet) part of a larger context.

[trevren11]

ahh i c i think it would be cool to make the patches into like a hemishperical bowl and attach the string thing to the center so you could attach it to a mouse thing and control your mouse with tilting your hand, just saying

[Plusea]

yes, i'm interested finding an existing or make a circuit that makes it easy to fake mouse input. i also like the idea of the bowl with a ball in it for x, y directional input. thanks

if you hook it up to usb then download joy2key... you can use the software to mimic the input from keyboard and mouse

[Plusea]

thank you and i will try this as soon as i get home:-) but i also want to try the pure hardware version, so that people could really just plug, and not have to download any software.
