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 .03 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
Example
use Wiimote;
my $wii = new 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
Add make test
Bugs
wiimote_discover can cause a segfault
tilt and force are not returning correct values. This broke with latest version of libcwiimote .03
