I've been trying to figure out if there's a way to use the flex sensor so that a bend will register as a keyhold on the computer.
I'm trying to use arduino to play flash games, but instead of using the computer keyboard as the controls, I would use Arduino's sensors.
For instance, a bend in the flex sensor would mean I'm "pressing" the "q" key on my keyboard; and the key would be held down until the flex sensor was let go.
So far, I've tried using AAC Keys to translate arduino inputs as keys, but it is unable to register keyholds; only keypresses.
For example, when the sensor is bent, AAC Keys says that the "q" key is being presses rapidly.
I've also tried following the instructions on the arudino site (link: Arduino Playground - Keyboardgame) but I haven't been successful yet.
I'm fairly new to arduino and the arduino community and would like to know if keyholds are even plausible. Will this work?
Thanks in advance!
