NAME

Linux::Input::Wiimote - Perl interface to the libcwiimote library

SYNOPSIS

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 version 0.04 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_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_ir4_size

Methods below return 0 or 1 depending on if key is pressed:

get_wiimote_keys_home

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

EXAMPLE

use Linux::Input::Wiimote;

my $wii = new Linux::Input::Wiimote;

$wii->wiimote_connect('00:19:1D:75:CC:30');

while ( $wii->is_open() ) {
    $wii->wiimote_update();
    print "Wiimote Key bits: " . $wii->get_wiimote_keys_bits() . "\n";
}

TODO

  • Add support for multiple remotes (it is already in libcmote)

  • Add auto descovery of wiimote

KNOWN BUGS

  • wiimote_discover can cause a segfault
