The Jump 3000

Play spacebar games by jumping in real life!

Our prototype for the Jump 3000 is made with a "Raspberry Pi Pico W with RP2040" and was last tested with "Adafruit CircuitPython 10.2.1".

Things you need:

  • Raspberry Pi Pico, or a similar CircuitPython-supported board
  • Light sensor module
  • Laser module
  • 1 LED in the color of your choice

How it works

The laser is pointing inside the tube with the light sensor. When you're standing between the laser and the sensor, you're blocking the laser. If you jump, you aren't blocking the laser anymore and the light sensor detects a high amount of light. When that happens, it emulates a keyboard spacebar on the PC connected to the Pi Pico over USB. It's plug-and-play, so you don't need to install or run any software on your PC.

For emulating an USB HID keyboard, we used "Adafruit_CircuitPython_HID", you can find this drivers in the "lib" folder of this repo, or download them here: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_HID
