Maker builds auto Chrome Dino player with Arduino, light sensor and a spacebar-pressing servo
Fowe · x · 2026-10-02
Developer @ifeebabyy built an "Automated Dino Jumper": an Arduino Uno reads a light sensor (LDR) to detect obstacles on the Chrome Dino game screen, then a servo motor physically presses the spacebar to make the dino jump. After a frustrating debugging stretch, the project finally worked. It's a classic cheap "physical cheat" hack — sensing screen brightness changes instead of doing vision, with immediately satisfying results.
