    Hi all,

    Everywhere I read information about the extension port of the wiimote, they talk about 2 way communication using I2C.
    unfortunatly, every sample code I found use extension->wiimote, I still unable to find a sample code of extension<-wiimote.

    In fact, I'm looking for a way to read data input from a wiimote using I2C, not bluetooth for a specific project.

    Someone already did it ? or got a usefull link ?

    thanks

    KanedaFr

    maybe this will help? I was interested in using the nunchuck myself, or actually getting the full deal with btstack and a wiimote.

    Thanks, I knew this link.

    There is a lot of website talking about using a nunchuck (also dont forget to google for a wiichuck to avoid killing your nunchuck) so nunchuck => ic
    I also found a lot of useful information to make your own controller/guitar/... so ic => wiimote
    but it seems it's not possible (or hasn't be hacked yet) to read wiimote register/address memory from the extension port .... so ic <= wiimote
    so bad, it's very expensive and hard to make a BT enabled arduino project.

    At this time, I think I'll use my laptop to read Wiimote data througt BT and send it throught usb to my own system...we'll see later how to avoid the PC bridge

    well, getting an arduino with a BTM-330 module can be "cheap". Search for btstack (there's a dev group on google). They're aiming for a portable bluetooth stack to connect with the wiimote

    very interesting...
    thanks for the info, I'll try to see how I could use this BTstack daemon.
