          @steffenschmidt, I was successful to some extent. I have managed to use the gestures from the board to control the interface. Up, down, left and right are working and more will follow when I know what I want them to do. The only problem is that the flick sensor is NOT WORKING behind the mirror, probably because of the aluminum/silver layer that makes a mirror a mirror.

          I will work on the project in the winter holidays and post some more details.

            Updated the code, and also support for the Asus Tinker Board.

              This is exactly what Im looking for. Im trying to get your module to run but Im first of all not a programmer (can do simple things in python an such)

              I altered your python script to work with my skywriter board, easy enough. But i wonder how i set up the config file? Just load the module? If I do that I get a error that says "cannot find module “python-shell”

              I was hoping the sensor would work behind the mirror to but it wont. I will put it on the inside of the frame insted…

                  So you did you get it to work? I have an updated version if you are interested.

                    Hi,

                    Did you considered using (and maybe tweaking a bit) the MMM-GroveGestures module and “only” replace the Grove Gesture Sensor (PAJ7620u2) by the Flick one?

                    It’s maybe a bit “basic thinking” from me but the MMM-GroveGestures plugin is really working great and both sensor seems to be based on the same working method / supplier / …
                    So maybe worth to consider it, don’t you think?

                    (would eb great for me at least, as I’m using MMM-GroveGestures and I’m interested into switching to the flick one).

                    Regards

                      Hi,

                      Sorry for my really late reply, I have been working on the module for a while, getting the mouse control to work.

                      As for your request, I did not know of the MMM-GroveGestures module. I had a look at it and the basic commands are basically the same although the code is written a bit differently. The gestures sequence though is a nice feature and I will look into that and try to do it the following days, but I am not really sure what actions should I bind to those new gestures.

                      Best regards,

                      Radu

                        Did you make some progress in your work, and so can you share it, I’d be glad to help with the module

                        Thanks
