Control a 3D model Roll and Pitch with MPU6050 accelerometerThe project is very simple and the main idea is while starting from a low-level accelerometer sensor data to end up with some nice visuals utilizing the power of Raspberry Pi 2 with Windows 10 on board through easy to use UWP and DirectX12.
In the project I used following API and libraries, which could be interesting for those who would like to get simple template for their "sensor + 3D" projects:
- Windows::Devices::I2c::I2cDevice to connect to MPU6050 and read accelerometer data. Possible future improvement - use interrupt mode to read data instead of timer polling (see the link in the Contributors section below).
- Direct3D12 UWP Game template project is used as a starting point. It is quite simple to start with but still very open for evolution.
- DirectXTK framework for DirectX12 is used to load and render a 3D model. It works on top of "Direct3D12 UWP Game template project".
- ImGui - very easy to use but very powerful and performant UI framework. I use DirectX12 version of the framework (also see the link in the Contributors section below).
I'm going to use the project as a workshop for future investigations, for example, I would like to connect Xbox360 gamepad to Raspberry Pi 2 to control the model rotation with a stick or even to connect a "raw" 2D stick over ADC and SPI interface to do the same.
