stryd_one Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I wasn't sure whether this should go in Design Concepts or Miscellaneous... I won't use this information, but if someone else does, then this in in the right place ;)Anyway! I discovered that Wii Nunchuk controllers communicate with the wiimote over IIC. This opens possibilities to automate input to the wii/PC by making a 'midibox in nunchuk clothing' or to use the nunchuk as input for your midibox....Random miscellaneous babble or random design concept, you choose :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMaster Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Well, with a wiimote you surely can use the nunchuck with one of the existing Wii remote mouse drivers. I know you can use RM-X Automation with the Wii remote itself at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiocommander Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 cool discovery :)I'm currently developing midimouse v06 (for Mac OS X 10.4., Intel & PPC)supporting wiiRemotes. If anybody is interested in Beta testing that would be great:http://www.audiocommander.de/downloads/midimouse_071113_0.6.bC.dmg.zip (440 kB)(If the link is dead, see the original page )Regarding the Accelerometer Sensors: The remote (as the Nunchuk) just sends out quite raw data of the sensors and there must be some (in terms of microcontrollers quite complicated) calculations to get Tilt/Roll values. The plain Gravity-Force values of the Accelerometer aren't that sexy... Best,Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hi,I found in the german c't (18/2007, P. 166.) an article about "how to use a WII on a PC".There exist a Software Link to usefull Software inkl. MIDI for Windows.Maybe usefull for you.SoftLink (source www.heise.de):http://www.heise.de/ct/07/18/links/166.shtmlBest RegardsJack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadyman Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Get an I2C or SPI-compatible bluetooth chip? Link it to the wiimote... away you go ;DEverything sounds easy in concept, of course! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
