Ringinator/README.md

# Ringinator

The repository for my 3D-printed ring-shaped motion-control presentation control and pointer device written in C, MicroPython and TinyML and implemented with a TinyPICO Nano microcontroller. The Bachelor thesis is written in Typst.

## Goals

The goal is to develop a prototype device shaped like a ring that can be used to control presentations and as a laser pointer using only motion controls.

Planned commands:
Shaking your hand while pointing at the screen | Shaking your hand while pointing down | Pushing your finger towards or away from the screen | swiping your hand left and right | circling with your finger (counter-)clockwise | WIP
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Activating the laser/computermouse mode | Disabling the laser/computermouse mode | left and right clicking | changing the volume | changing the slides forwards and backwards |  pointing your figer up for 2 seconds





## Project roadmap

- [ ] April: Hardware & Networking
    - [x] Creating a Typst template for bachelor theses at the UHH
    - [ ] Creating the model for the ring
    - [ ] Wiring the components together
    - [ ] Soldering the components together
    - [ ] Creating the hull containing the components
    - [ ] Establishing a connection between the TinyPICO and the PC
- [ ] May: 

### Tasks for today

 - [x] Setup the Forgejo directory
 - [ ] Connect the Dummy ESP32 with your Arduino IDE and set everything up wired
 - [ ] Prepare the first pages in the Bachelor thesis
