GestAKey

Gest A Key, yet so powerful...

Components

Arduino

• Collects data from capactive touch matrix
• Send raw data to Python

Python

• Gesture recognizer algorithm

• Receives data from Arduino

• Classifies gesture and sends it to Node server

  cd data
  pyton3 data_read.py
  

C

• Listens to keypresses (up/down/mod)

• Adapted from Daniel Beard

• Sends keypresses to Node server

  cd sys
  gcc -Wall -o globalkeypress globalkeypress.c -framework ApplicationServices
  ./globalkeypress
  

JavaScript

• Node.js server that orchestrates everything

• Has three sockets

  • In socket: receives gestures from Python
  • In socket: receives keypresses (up/down/mod) from C
  • Out socket: sends keypresses to Python
  
  

  cd app
  node index.js
