I want to be able to control servos with the Wiimote buttons (and eventually the accelerometer). Which sketch should I use and/or edit for my purposes? I'm kind of new to this whole programming thing, and I've not seen any guides on how to control servos with a Wiimote (the actual remote). I have seen lots of projects on the Nunchuck and the Wii to the Arduino via laptop (bluetooth). Is there a way to do it without a laptop?

I've tried running blueutils.pde on Arduino18, but have had limited success. When running it, I get an error about java. It says something like "java.lang.NullPointerException at processing.app.debug.Compiler.Compile at...." Any ideas? I was having problems with this library, so I’m glad that you’ve posted this.

It did take me a bit of time to get it running though. The code meeds Arduino18 and the old version of the spi-library, (Spi.h NOT the new SPI.h) it won't run on anything past arduino19 as this is when this library was rewritten. An added difficulty is that the old verson of the library isn't to be found on the arduino playground anymore. Oleg was kind enough to mail it to me, but it would be useful to add the info that the code was written for Arduino18 in a README on the Github. Also, it makes sense to add the Spi-library the code uses to the download. I've put it here: http://www.repairablemachines.com/downloads/Spi_library_for_arduino18.zip best, Lieven Standaert, Belgium PS: many thx to Oleg for the file Hello Richard,

I would love to try and experiment with it, but I am not sure I could develop it myself. thanks for the reply ohh but what protocol are you using to find other BT devices now? is it going to be available soon?

Have you tried something similar? I would like to implement some mobile processing apps if possible. thanks for any tips . kind regards, christo Hi Oleg,

First of all congratulations and thanks for doing this tutorials. I've really enjoyed controlleing my arduino with the DS3. I would like to be able to control it now wireless via bluetooth. Is there any library that supports this? Are you going to make the last 2 parts of this tutorial? Thanks again. Hello, oleg. First of all congratulations and thanks for doing this tutorials.

I've seen how you got the PS3 controller working, is there a similar library for the wiimote? I've worked with my Arduino quite a bit, but I've never written my own library, just sketches for this and that. Is that something I may need to look into in order to get this working? Also, will it be a problem if I'm using the newest version of the Arduino software? Should I be using 0018 for this? Currently I have been working with 0022, which comes with the newest SPI library preinstalled, which might be causing issues with the older code. That’s where I get 90% of my information! :)
