Making my very own Wiimote Hi, I want to make my very own Wiimote with Motion Plus functionality as an experimental project. To do this I need some equipment: - Bluetooth - Microcontroller - Accelerometer - Gyroscope - IR camera - etc. I want to use an AVR microcontroller since I have some exerience with AVRs. The AVR will communicate with the Bluetooth module using UART. I am thinking about using a RN42 class 2 Bluetooth module. I can read on the Wiimote site that: "The Wii Remote uses (and, at times, abuses) the standard Bluetooth HID protocol to communicate with the host..." and "The Wii Remote actually uses a fairly complex set of operations, transmitted through HID Output reports, and returns a number of different data packets through its Input reports, which contain the data from its peripherals." Anyone know if I will be able to communicate with the Wii U using this RN42 module and a microcontroller? Thanks for any response!http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?7,73702,73702#msg-73702Mon, 17 Aug 2026 18:57:06 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?7,73702,73702#msg-73702 Making my very own Wiimotehttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?7,73702,73702#msg-73702
