several people are working on drivers for nintendos Wiimote. i wrote a speedhack to use hiro’s DarwiinRemote with Processing.

i simply modified DarwiinRemote to write out a textfile with the values of the accelerometer and the orientation of the Wiimote.

there is an pde in the archive and the modified version of DarwiinRemote in the data folder. start DarwiinRemote, connect the Wiimote and then run the pde.

that’s only to start working with the Wiimote. i hope someone will write real drivers for the device soon.

i am back on an mac again after 2 1/2 years on a dell. hello white macbook!

i managed to get a nintendo wii on european launch day. it was incredible. more than 40 running people in the shop. me too.

now i have my wii, the great wiimote, zelda, rayman raving rabbits and nintendo sports.

there are already drivers and example applications for reading the wiimote on linux, windows and os x.
