Wii Nunchuck Controlled Robot

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

This is what the article says:

I connected a Wii Nunchuck controller to an Arduino, which takes the data from the controller’s I2C data bus, decodes it, and send the data to the robot with a radio transmitter. Charlie uses a radio receiver to get the data, and it will control the drive servo system and the pan tilt servo system using the data. The Nunchuck has a 3 axis accelerometer, a joystick, and 2 buttons, it is absolutely awesome to use with a RC robot like this.

I have a great idea… I’ll save up my allowance and buy another Arduino and buy a nunchuck wii controller, then put it into my MANOI, spiff up the program to make it walk, then I can have it walking everywhere! :) I wonder how tricky it would be to set up gyros… Haha! And when I program the two keys, it will be punches and kicks. Not that my MANOI would kick anyone… or would it? ;P

Nice Bookshelf

We all know the Christmas lights controlled by music on a garage radio station that annoy neighbours to the extreme, but this is a different approach. I like it a ton since it is useful all year round. :D

Maybe during summer I could make things like this! :D That would be cool!
