Now here’s an intriguing idea. Sometimes we don’t see that things we have lying around the house can be used in different ways. This makes me want to go home and open up my wiimote nunchuck and see how it works… Apparently it is an accelerometer. It has a lot of potential to be used with Arduino, and hopefully I’ll be able to figure out how it works by the end of this course. The only downfall of this example is that it is not wireless. Maybe there is a way that it can be combined with the wireless wiimote somehow to control the robot’s actions as well as movement.

Hey there, I’m one of the feeders of this blog. (: When I first read this post I instantly remembered some work that Minho University in Portugal is doing torwards it. http://jorgecardoso.org/blog/index.php?/archives/92-NNiimote-update.html is one of them.
They do have something about wiimotes controlling robots, I just can’t remember where’s the link.
I’m sorry I posted it in here, don’t mean to sound like “publicity”, I’m not even studying in that university. I just didn’t find any contact info, so I could e-mail you guy’s this (or something like that).
That’s all, and keep up the good work. (:
