Wiimote Stuff: Wiimote on Ubuntu Linux part 1

[Bob0p]

Um what do you use to make it a mouse?

Been a while since I've looked at this vid, but looking at our robotics team's code I found out that we're using the cwiid libraries to interface our robot (a tank-drive 3-wheeled platform designed for the IGVC competition) with the Wiimote (has 3 drive modes: Accelerometer, D-pad, and Nunchuk joystick). It's a great control method and the code is really simple!

Hey CalcProgrammer1, I have been experimenting a lot with making homebrew games for the wii and I must thank you for making this vid, as it has given me a great idea for my final exams.

You wouldn't happen to know of any coding examples involving the wiimote accelerometer?

One question, if I download Ubuntu will it mess with Windows XP?

[NoobixCube]

The latest version has a feature called "Wubi", which installs Ubuntu as a hard disk image from within Windows. I'm not entirely certain how it works, but the whole idea of it is so you don't need to partition your hard drive or anything to try it out.

zelda owns.

[zeldaisthebest]

yes it does.

thumb up!

[musikaffe]

Was that difficult to get running?

[CalcProgrammer1]

Not at all! It's a lot easier to set up in Linux than Windows, actually, because Linux has real drivers...Windows only has "drivers" (user-mode GUI applications that mimic drivers) like WiinRemote and GlovePIE.

You dont have Beryl? :(

[CalcProgrammer1]

Beryl doesn't run on a Pentium 3 850MHz with lousy ATi Rage Mobility 128 (16MB) graphics. Beryl DOES run (nicely) on my other (desktop) PC, AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (2.13GHz) with ATi Radeon X1600Pro 512MB graphics, but the laptop's easier to film with.

[CalcProgrammer1]

But now on my good desktop PC, I upgraded to Ubuntu 7.10 Beta and Compiz Fusion rules, it makes Beryl look stupid, it's insanely easy to install and works better :)

Download the end credits? I have a video editing software called Sony Screenblast Movie Studio that you can type credits into and it will scroll them. I got the music from the "unofficial soundtrack" for Twilight Princess.

Nice vid, cool program!! Btw where did you download the end credits from?
