Taking serial data to perform key.press functions

[ausbollinger13]

I am trying to take an IMU's data via serial port to press arrow keys to be able to play a game with the use of an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer.

I am able to print the serial data with roll, pitch, and yaw direction but i want the data to go into if statements to press up, down, right, and left arrow keys if the values of the data are between ranges such as from 0 to 25 pitch would be up and 0 to -25 pitch would be down.

Could I get some help on how to send the serial data into if statements?


Python Code:

from pynput.keyboard import Key, Controller
from time import *
import numpy as np
import math
import serial
ad=serial.Serial('com11',115200)
sleep(1)

keyboard = Controller()
toRad=2*np.pi/360
toDeg=1/toRad


while (True):
    while (ad.inWaiting()==0):
        pass
    dataPacket=ad.readline()
    dataPacket=str(dataPacket,'utf-8')
    splitPacket=dataPacket.split(",")
    roll=float(splitPacket[0])*toRad
    pitch=float(splitPacket[1])*toRad
    yaw=float(splitPacket[2])*toRad+np.pi

    if pitch <= -5:
        print('Down')
        break
    if pitch >= 5:
        print('Up')
        break
   
    print("Pitch=",pitch*toDeg," Roll=",roll*toDeg,"Yaw=",yaw*toDeg)
