Interfacing to Wii Nunchuck
I'm trying to interface a Wii Nunchuck to a PIC using PBP.
From the info on this page (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wiimote/Exte...ollers#Nunchuk), I have written what I think should work, but not having much joy.
Code:
'init nunchuck: write $55 to $A400F0 and $00 to $A400FB
I2CWRITE i2c_clock_pin,i2c_data_pin,$A4,$00F0,[$55],fail
pause 10
i2CWRITE i2c_clock_pin,i2c_data_pin,$A4,$00FB,[$00],fail
pause 10
'read 6 bytes from $A40008
I2CREAD i2c_clock_pin,i2c_data_pin,$A4,$0008,[STR datain/6]
However each time I read the 6 bytes i get one of three sets of bytes back (each time I read I get the next set, and then it loops back to the 1st set).
Code:
80,FF,7F,7F,7F,7F
FF,FF,7F,7F,7F,7F
FB,FF,7F,BF,DF,EF
Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone successfully used a nunchuck in PBP?
Re: Interfacing to Wii Nunchuck
I just started messing with the Wii Nunchuk and WMP to do a project similar to the MultiWii on RCGroups. I am just in the beginning stages of the project and was wondering if you would share any code for talking with the Nunchuk? My plan is to finish up the soldering of the connections tonight and hopefully if all goes well I'll be talking with the Nunchuk. I'm going to try and convert code from these sites http://nunchuckmouse.blogspot.com/ and http://www.musclera.com/wii-nunchuk-demonstration/ to PBP in order to accomplish this. It seems pretty basic but I've never messed with I2C. I figure if you have a heads up on how to do this any help would be greatly appreciated.
Currently I have a 18F2550 CDC/USB connection talking to a VB6 program that I use to send command to turn on and off relays, LED's and move servos around so I'm hoping I can just expand my program to receive the I2C info once I get it to talk and send data down I plan to move forward converting the Arduino code to PBP.
I also just bought a BTM-182 module from sparkfun to start messing with designing my own controller instead of using an RC remote. If anyone has experience using these or other bluetooth modules help there is appreciated also.
I am a Mechanical Engineer for a company called Lite Machines, I do all of the tool and die and fixture design stuff and dabble in programming. Check out http://www.litemachines.com we make UAV's for the military so all of this is not out of reach for me just that I'm limited on time and thought maybe we could get a thread started like this one http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1332876.
Thanks,

BTW- This is not in anyway work related. Just something I thought I could do at home that might also get my 9 year old son involved in electronics also.
Thanks,

Re: Interfacing to Wii Nunchuck
Hi;
I made this program one year ago. This program aquires receive the data from Nunchuck and then acording to some "if", some data is sent to the serial port.
Maybe you can see how it works, and use it with some modification.
Try to find the label "Nunchuck" at the end of the program, that is the routine that receive the data from the nunchuck.

Re: Interfacing to Wii Nunchuck
Thanks Gadelhas,
I finished wiring up the Wii components last night and will hopefully get a chance to play with the I2C this weekend. I looked through your code and it seems as straight forward as I thought. I will post here or start a new thread once I get this project going.

Re: Interfacing to Wii Nunchuck
ok, post your results when you have them!
