Introducing a mini game controller system designed for two players, utilizing innovative gesture control technology. The system comprises two player controllers, a settings controller, and a LED display. Two player controllers that features gesture sensors, buttons, and a transceiver. The third controller incorporates a joystick, allowing players to customize game settings and options, alongside its own transceiver. We will use the PAJ7620 Gesture Recognition Module to detect left, right, up, and down hand motion. The NRF24L01 transceiver module will be used to communicate wirelessly between microcontrollers. This transceiver uses a 2.4 GHz band so the range will be limited. We use a 32×16 LED panel as our display because it is the greatest dimension an Arduino UNO can support. The content will be interactive based on the inputs of the controllers. The settings controller will help navigate across different content the system has to offer. A pair of tactile buttons will be added to each controller for additional inputs. All three controllers will transmit signals for the LED panel’s microcontroller to receive. The microcontroller that hosts the LED panel will store the content implementation while the controllers merely transmit the user inputs. Most of the sensors and components will be setup and configured using verified source codes online, we will integrate, modify, and elaborate them to build our project. This system offers a captivating and engaging experience, with the LED display adding a colorful and dynamic element to gameplay. It presents a unique and exciting opportunity for retro gaming enthusiasts and provides an excellent platform for interactive gaming at expos and events.
