Wiimote
This is a perl interface to the C library libcwiimote ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwiimote/ ). It implements most of that API and provides access to most functions of the wiimote. libcwiimote must be installed and the bluetooth dameon must be running Auto discovery is not yet built in. You must know the id of your wiimote. You can use hcitool scan to find the id. Methods: wiimote_connect( ID OF YOUR WIIMOTE ): pass in the id of your wiimote such as '00:19:1D:75:CC:30'. Returns 0 on success wiimote_update : updates the wiimote. Should be called often wiimote_discover: discovers and returns the id of the last wiimote it sees. WARNING, this method has bugs and will segfault if it doesn't find a wii quickly set_wiimote_rumble: starts/stops rumble. Pass in 1 to start, 0 to stop set_wiimote_ir: starts/stops ir sensor. Pass in 1 to start, 0 to stop get_wiimote_tilt_x get_wiimote_tilt_y get_wiimote_tilt_z get_wiimote_axis_x get_wiimote_axis_y get_wiimote_axis_z get_wiimote_ext_nunchuk_axis_x get_wiimote_ext_nunchuk_axis_y get_wiimote_ext_nunchuk_axis_z get_wiimote_ext_nunchuk_joyx get_wiimote_ext_nunchuk_joyy IR sensor position (must first set_wiimote_ir(1) to start ir sensor) NOT YET FINISHED: get_wiimote_ir1_y get_wiimote_ir1_x get_wiimote_ir1_size get_wiimote_ir2_y get_wiimote_ir2_x get_wiimote_ir2_size get_wiimote_ir3_y get_wiimote_ir3_x get_wiimote_ir3_size get_wiimote_ir4_y get_wiimote_ir4_x get_wiimote_ir4_size Methods below return 0 or 1 depending on if key is pressed: get_wiimote_keys_home get_wiimote_keys_minus get_wiimote_keys_a get_wiimote_keys_b get_wiimote_keys_1 get_wiimote_keys_2 get_wiimote_keys_plus get_wiimote_keys_up get_wiimote_keys_down get_wiimote_keys_right get_wiimote_keys_left get_wiimote_keys_bits
