What is TRIKI?

TRIKI is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) motion controller that has the shape and size of a bottle cap. It is produced by Caps Apps (also known as HOPX) and sold by 'Żabka', a convenience store franchise.

It was designed to be used in mini-games which are on the store's loyalty app.

Why I made this library

I wanted to make this library to give everyone a way to integrate this niche controller into their own games, experiments and other Python projects.

Features

• Scan for TRIKI controllers
• Connect to TRIKI controller
• Get battery level
• Get IMU data from the controller
• Get state of the built-in button
• Control built-in LED

Platforms

Platform	Does it work?
Windows 10/11	✅ Tested
macOS	❔ Untested
Linux	⚠️ Partially tested

Linux support needs further testing. Some Arch-based distributions may have issues with receiving data.

Installation

pip install triki-library

Usage

# Import the library
import asyncio
from triki import TRIKIScanner, TRIKIController

# Scan for TRIKI controllers
scanner = TRIKIScanner()
await scanner.scan()
devices = scanner.scanned_devices # Returned as list[TRIKIDevice]

devices[0].name # Get device name
devices[0].address # Get device BT address

# Connect to the controller
controller = TRIKIController("AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF")
await controller.connect()

controller.is_connected # Check if device is connected
controller.battery_level # Get battery level

controller.spin_x # Get X Spin
controller.spin_y # Get Y Spin
controller.turn_z # Get Z Turn
controller.tilt_x # Get X Tilt
controller.tilt_y # Get Y Tilt
controller.flip_z # Get Z Flip

controller.button_pressed # Check if built-in button is pressed

#turn on LED
await controller.toggle_led(True)

#turn off LED
await controller.toggle_led(False)

# Loop
try:
    while controller.is_connected:
        # Do stuff
finally:
    await controller.disconnect()

# IMPORTANT: disconnect from the controller when you're done with it!
await controller.disconnect()

Examples can be found on the 'examples' directory.
