Frequently Asked Questions

The MPU6050 sensor tracks your hand's orientation and motion, sending that data to the Arduino Uno which processes it into actionable mouse or keyboard commands.
Flip software is utilized alongside the Arduino IDE for device programming and managing firmware updates on compatible microcontroller boards.
Yes, you can use any comfortable hand glove as a base, provided you can securely mount the MPU6050 sensor and neatly route the jumper wires.
