Sorry for the weird cursor behavior, my capture setup is a hack and I had to use the Classic Controller and guide myself by the audio "clicks", since I couldn't see what I was doing.
Mad props to drmr, who made the awesome music, and to souLLy for the great graphics :)

A few days ago a homebrew loader for the Wii was released. I just managed to get the USB interface to work, and therefore talk to the internal Bluetooth controller (which uses USB internally). This is a little demo of connecting to the wiimote. The code is basically useless, as it doesn't use a real BT stack, but it's a nice demo.

Anyone remember the days of DOS games "playing" music by moving the floppy drive heads? Well, I had to test a new robot platform, but I was too lazy to go build an actual frame with a pair of wheels. So what can I do to test the motor speed controls with nothing to move? Watch.
These are the control boards that we'll be using in the Robotics Workshop at this year's Euskal Encounter 15, in Barakaldo, Spain. This is one of Spain's largest LANParties, with up to 4096 people attending this year.
Oh, yeah, and it's in stereo too :) (melody on the left, bass line on the right). Not bad for 18 hand-tuned notes.
New in v2.0 (also known as next-afternoon version) - MIDI interface! On a sidenote, this could be really useful for an actual robot - you could program movement commands using MIDI sequences.

The original Pac-man arcade game, implemented inside a single Xilinx Spartan-3E chip on a Spartan-3E Starter Kit. None of the extra hardware on the board is used, the chip in the middle implements the complete arcade board of the original game!

Yep, we finally figured out how the darn IR camera works. It's just a quick hack, but I've written a program to take the data from the Wiimote, filter it a bit, and emulate a mouse. It's actually quite a decent input device, although I recommend using big icons. I've demonstrated a few simple activities with it. Buttons on the Wiimote map to mouse buttons and scroll wheel. Of course, the sensor bar has to be on for this to work (make your own, as documented in many places, or just power yours off your Wii as I use here)
I'm working on a full-blown Linux driver with support for every feature known, multiple clients, and a lot more (with no ugly hacks).
See you soon with the next video!
Update: Check http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=Wiimote out for the actual technical information on how all this works!

We are working on documenting and adding support for the Wiimote on Bluetooth-enabled computers. Here's how it's turning out so far. Stay tuned for pointing, Mii data (already working!), and much, much more!

So I just picked up my new Wii with an extra Wii Remote, and look what starts happening soon after I begin to use it. This really screws up gameplay. No, you don't have to watch the whole video to get an idea of what's going on, I'm just showing different things about my setup and trying stuff to no avail.
