Wiimote Controlled Robot Arm

[Beatboxbob]

Impressive, if a little slow. I'd like to see a demo of you actually doing something with it. picking something up, breaking something, drawing a picture, Just to show that it's a useful thing to do.

[pokedigimon9]

wow this was writ in python i been learning c++, python and java my self but python is more suited for animation as it works well with C++ the robotic arm was amazing.

[Infernal968]

cool :D

[jjjuanfernando]

nintendo suckssssss!"·$%&

[g0tTub3d]

i guess u do better, suc*er

[SophieStiller]

a) It's slow.

b) It's the B trigger.

c) American flag does not have the union jack in it.

[cheese4690]

wow!! amazing! must ave taakin a while to make.

[sweYoda]

indeed it must have, since you are very good at programming your self?

[ObviouslySublime]

lol "infrared white and blue"

[hammetjunior13]

thats ill

[rhcpandsum41]

AMAZING!!!

[nonstop12345]

Hm, a bit slow, but what do ya expect Wiimote+Excellently Desined robotic arm=HOT

its amazing what echnology can do

[sammyboi55]

yes... echnology is amazing lol... just kidding and cool design dude.

[zdumdum]

lol. grow up sammyboi.

[piratgirl99]

are u using an IMB thinkpad T30? i got one too xD

[RoyRijpma1]

is zooo slow boring

[Reinova]

Hmmm. Where can I get a simple (maybe 2 joints) robotic arm for my research? Any pointers for a cheap, educational one?

[Valca000]

NO WAI!

[uktraceur]

thats great! thank you for spending all that time making this is was a good 1.42 seconds of my life

[IM1StealthPilot]

1:42 minutes or 1.70 minutes, not seconds moron.

[wiithepeople2]

DOOD NO WAY!

[grupolatino]

how do you hacked the wiimote? it sends infrared data? can you give me some info? thanks

[noripcord7]

The Wiimote reads infrared data through a small, filtered camera in front, but all Wii-interaction is done through Bluetooth. wiili dot org is a great resource, and has some really helpful coding examples including a basic Python script which was used as a basis for our entire program.

[karat007]

hey how do I learn how to do all of these stuff? where do I start after I've learned electronics? I know c++ is that enough? just where do I start to make things like these. please tell me where its my dream! thanks!

[noripcord7]

@ karat007

The program controlling this program was written in Python, but Object-Oriented C++ is a good start. I'm still learning myself, but my best advice is to conceive a project and learn whatever it takes to get it done. If it's something you're interested in, you'll carry it out to the end and the cumulative experience you gain in the process will be a great launching point for the next one. Start small and set realistic intermediate goals. Remember, Google is your best friend.

[nard3456]

That a really loud robot

[jektrlh]

that is rad

[dj9volt]

This is one of the dummest things to with a wiimote, iam starting a list with soime of the doummest things to with a wiimote and you my friend are no. 1

[kylemh]

Dan's Python Code!!!1

[aberman666]

he looks so retarded :/

[boyvirgil]

lol

infra-red white and blue

[uberplayer]

Awesome! Build a faster robot!  Keep up the good work! 5 stars!

[CRADDSTER]

The 'union flag' is only the 'union jack' when hoisted on the bow of a ship. There is no instance of the union flag in the american flag. Nice demonstration though.

[MJGrindboy]

Total noob The Union Jack is the United Kingdom's flag
