Wii Remote Robotic Arm (from national Instrument) Part#2

With a high-resolution camera, a 3-axis accelerometer, and a Bluetooth wireless link, the Nintendo Wii Controller (Wiimote) offers exciting possibilities beyond use as a video game controller for the Nintendo Wii. One of National Instruments' Application Engineers, Evan Dozier, modified an existing robotic arm using NI Hardware, LabVIEW and the Wiimote controller from the Nintendo Wii. In this application, Anu Saha from National Instruments uses the Wiimote and some special Bluetooth LabVIEW VIs to control the robot either with the buttons or with the accelerometers.
