• How to use 3-Axis Accelerometer for Tilt Sensing. Tutorial
• I used Roll & Pitch axis only for forward, backward, left, right, nitro & handbrake parameters to control the game.
• Download all source code.
• Start server from windows system to receive axis tilts in degrees.
• Run GameServer.py
• Send UDP packets from Pi to server.
• Run Client.py
• Enter IP of your connection not IP of Pi.
• Open cmd & type ipconfig/all to see IP of your connection.
• Start Pi using putty for faster connection. Tutorial
• Create hotspot & connect both Pi & Windows system for Wireless Control.
