Since the quarantine (covid-19) I decided to create something so I decided on mouse moved by rotation of my hand.

Project Perspective

The Gyro-mouse project is an advanced Human Interface Device (HID) that allows you to control a computer's mouse cursor by physically tilting or moving the Arduino. This project is perfect for accessibility, VR controllers, or innovative gaming peripherals.

Hardware Core

  • Arduino Leonardo / Micro: These boards are essential because they feature the ATmega32U4 microcontroller, which has native USB communication built-in. This allows the computer to recognize the Arduino as a standard HID Mouse.
  • MPU6050 Sensor: A 6-axis Motion Tracking device that contains a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer. It detects even the slightest tilt or rotation.

Theory of Operation

The MPU6050 communicates with the Arduino over the I2C protocol (using Pin 2/SDA and Pin 3/SCL on the Leonardo). The Arduino then continuously reads the raw gyro data (X and Y axes).

  1. Motion to Pixels: The Arduino "maps" the angular velocity (rotation) from the gyroscope into pixels on the screen.
  2. Smoothing: Since raw gyro data can be noisy, the code often implements a simple filter or threshold to prevent the cursor from "drifting" when the mouse is still.
  3. Transmission: Using the Mouse library, the Arduino sends motion packets to the PC:
Mouse.move(x_val, y_val, 0);

Essential Wiring

  • VCC/GND: Connect to 5V and Ground.
  • SCL/SDA: Connect to the dedicated SCL and SDA pins on your Arduino (I2C).
  • INT: Optional, often used for hardware-level interrupts when data is ready.

Future Expansion

  • Buttons: Add physical push buttons to the Arduino to act as left and right mouse clicks.
  • Z-Axis Scroll: Use the Z-axis of the gyro to control the scroll wheel.
  • Wireless Unity: Use a Bluetooth module to send the HID data wirelessly for a truly cable-free mouse experience.

Building your own Gyro-mouse is an excellent way to understand HID communication and multi-axis sensor fusion.
