# DustinYe/gesture-media-controller

> Infrared gesture controller based on M5Stack AtomS3R and PAJ7620U2 sensor that converts hand movements into BLE HID media commands for a connected computer, phone, or tablet. Firmware in C++/Arduino with trajectory trackers, host switching, and documented v24 baseline.

- Magnitude: 4.7 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 135 total · +24 stars measured 2026-10-19, 17:38–20:45 UTC, ≈ 28 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: C++ · Created: 2026-10-18 · Last push: 2026-10-18

## Useful for

- Build a wireless media controller for a PC or tablet without installing host software.
- Test gesture recognition by replaying recorded trajectories with the bundled Python reference implementation.
- Switch control between two paired BLE hosts by double-clicking the front screen button.

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-19 (UTC), 17:38–20:45: 111 → 135 stars (+24). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +28 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 135 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #169.
- About 17 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 22
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 99
- Average over the last week: 53 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 7

## Stars per day, last 2 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-18 … 2026-10-19: 77, 24

## Spotted in now

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
Data as of 2026-10-19 20:58 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
