Emulate a joystick by tilting your tablet.
Project description
Tablet Tilt Joystick
A program that lets you use your tablet's tilting to emulate an actual joystick on a computer. Currently this only works on Linux systems as it uses uinput
behind the scenes. It might work on Macs, I haven't got a Mac so I can't test.
It's called tablet tilt joystick but it will work with any handheld device with a reasonably modern web browser and an orientation sensor.
Runs a light web server which you can connect to in a browser on your tablet.
Basic usage
Install with pip (pip3 install tablet-tilt-joystick
) then run with python3 -m tablet_tilt_joystick
or just tablet_tilt_joystick
and connect to <your ip>:4242
on a mobile device to get started. If a suitable image display program is found, it will also show a QR code that you can scan with a mobile device to get to the IP quickly. The joystick will show up in your system as something like python-uinput
.
Advanced usage
For advanced usage instructions, run python3 -m tablet_tilt_joystick -h
.
Troubleshooting
If your tablet fails to find the server, make sure this program isn't blocked by a firewall. Also try navigating to your computers ip manually on the tablet.
Publishing to pypi:
