|
|
+## What?
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+The app allows you to turn your Flipper into a USB or Bluetooth air mouse (you do need an extra module, see the Hardware section below)...
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+Using it is really simple:
|
|
|
|
|
+ * Connect the Flipper via a USB cable and pick `USB`, or pick `Bluetooth` and pair it with your PC;
|
|
|
|
|
+ * Hold the Flipper in your hand with the buttons pointing towards the screen;
|
|
|
|
|
+ * Wave your Flipper like you don't care to move the cursor;
|
|
|
|
|
+ * Up button for Left mouse click;
|
|
|
|
|
+ * Down button for Right mouse click;
|
|
|
|
|
+ * Center button for Middle mouse click;
|
|
|
|
|
+ * Left and Right buttons for scrolling;
|
|
|
|
|
+ * Use calibration menu option if you notice significant drift (place your Flipper onto a level surface, make sure it doesn't move, run this option, wait 2 seconds, done).

|
+## Hardware
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+The custom module is using Bosch BMI160 accelerometer/gyroscope chip connected via I2C.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+Take a look into the `schematic` folder for Gerber, BOM and CPL files, so you can order directly from JLCPCB.

|
|
+## Software
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+The code is based on the original Bosch driver and an orientation tracking implementation from the Google Cardboard project

|
+TL;DR: Use the code however you want, give credit where it's due, no warranty of any kind is provided.
