Story

In this tutorial We are going to see how to play subways surfers by using Gesture Sensor (APDS9960)

Arduino Nano 33 BLE sense Board have 8 onboard sensor including Gesture Sensor

Our Project has no circuit diagram because we are using onboard Gesture sensor

1) First Connect Arduino Ble Sense Board to Your PC or Laptop By using Type B

Charging Cable

2) Now Open Arduino IDE

3) Then Open Tools --> Manage Libaries --> Search (APDS9960) and Install the

Libary

4) After Installing libary Go to Files --> Examples --> Arduino APDS9960 -->

Gesture Sensor

5) Select the Board type and Port Number upload the program

6) UPLOAD the Program

7) After Uploading Now open the python script

8) Install The required package like pyserial and pynput

(pip install pyserial, pip install pynput) run this command in the command prompt in adminstrator mode

9) And Don't Forgot to enter the Arduino Port Number

10) Now run this program

11) For Playing game I used Bluestack

12) Change the Control settings For that refer the video

#include <Arduino_APDS9960.h>

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial);

  if (!APDS.begin()) {
    Serial.println("Error initializing APDS9960 sensor!");
  }

  // for setGestureSensitivity(..) a value between 1 and 100 is required.
  // Higher values makes the gesture recognition more sensible but less accurate
  // (a wrong gesture may be detected). Lower values makes the gesture recognition
  // more accurate but less sensible (some gestures may be missed).
  // Default is 80
  //APDS.setGestureSensitivity(80);

  
}
void loop() {
  if (APDS.gestureAvailable()) {
    // a gesture was detected, read and print to serial monitor
    int gesture = APDS.readGesture();

    switch (gesture) {
      case GESTURE_UP:
        Serial.println("UP");
        break;

      case GESTURE_DOWN:
        Serial.println("DOWN");
        break;

      case GESTURE_LEFT:
        Serial.println("LEFT");
        break;

      case GESTURE_RIGHT:
        Serial.println("RIGHT");
        break;

      default:
        // ignore
        break;
    }
  }
}

import serial                                       

from pynput.keyboard import Key, Controller           

ser = serial.Serial('COM4', 9600)                   

keyboard = Controller()

while True:
    data = ser.readline()
    
    if data.decode().strip() == "LEFT":
        keyboard.press("a")
        keyboard.release("a")
    

    if data.decode().strip() == "RIGHT":
        keyboard.press("d")
        keyboard.release("d")
    

    if data.decode().strip() == "UP":
        keyboard.press("w")
        keyboard.release("w")
    

    if data.decode().strip() == "DOWN":
        keyboard.press("s")
        keyboard.release("s")
