# What is this project?
This project helps sets up a way to use a external uv sensor on as pass it's data to mGBA to be used by Boktai: the sun is in your hands.
This way real uv data can be used in the emulated game, bypassing the need to manually update the sunlight value and bringing the game one step closer to it's intended behavior.
# How is this done?
Simple version: By using a uv sensor on a microcontroller and passing that data to a mGBA script that turns writes that read value into RAM.
More technical version: in one of two ways, it can be done by Serial, where a microcontroller writes into it and a python scripts picks it up on a computer, where it will connect to a lua server and pass data to it whenever a new value is read on the serial.
Or by having the microcontroller connect to the wifi and having it send values to the lua server.
# what do I need to get this working?
This project comes in 2 flavors:
Serial version.
WiFi version.
Please read the introduction to both and decide which you fits your case best.
