Wii remotes. Supports motion sensing, IR tracking, nunchuk, classic
controller, Balance Board, and the Guitar Hero 3 controller. Single

This is a friendly fork, prompted by apparent non-maintained status of
upstream project but proliferation of ad-hoc forks without project
infrastructure. Hopefully GitHub will help the community maintain this
more seamlessly now.
This is a friendly fork, prompted by apparent non-maintained status
of upstream project but proliferation of ad-hoc forks without
project infrastructure. Balance board support has been merged from
TU-Delft [1] cross-referenced with other similar implementations in
embedded forks of WiiUse in other applications. Hopefully GitHub will
help the community maintain this project more seamlessly now.
Patches and improvements are greatly appreciated - the easiest way
to submit them is to fork the repository on GitHub and make the
changes, then submit a pull request. The "fork and edit this file"
button on the web interface should make this even simpler.
