# Control Linux desktop by Arduino sensors

This project takes ultrasonic sensor for example.

## Requirement

GNU/Linux with Python and `xdotool`.

## How to run

1. Burn `serialSensor.ino` into Arduino.

2. Set serial port name and baud rate in `serialDesktopCtl.sh`.

3. Run command:

        ./seralDesktopCtl.sh

## How it works

1. Arduino send sensor data to serial port.

2. Python read from serial port and control the PC desktop through system command `xdotool`.

3. `xdotool` send keyboard stokes to the operating system.
