GyroGameController

GyroGameController is a real-time motion-based gaming controller that uses an Arduino + MPU6050 gyroscope + Python PC interface to convert physical tilt movements into keyboard inputs for PC games.

Features

• Detects and connects to Arduino-based gyro devices.
• Streams real-time motion (tilt) data via serial communication.
• Converts motion gestures into keyboard inputs.
• Low-latency response for gaming applications.
• Stable tilt detection with anti-spam filtering.
• Cross-platform support (Windows / Linux / Mac).
