IMUs FTW!! Building IMU-based gesture recognition!
summary
Gesture recognition works end to end: an Adafruit IMU (accelerometer gyroscope magnetometer) streams time series that a sliding‑window classifier watches in a while loop and triggers effects. Hardware is Raspberry Pi Zero + Adafruit IMU, a USB speaker for audio, a cylinder battery glued into a wand, and hair ties for mounting. Project fits under $200 and finishes in 2–3 weekends, and the wand actually works for Halloween with code and parts lists linked on GitHub and an Amazon parts wishlist.
