ESP32Wiimote

ESP32Wiimote is an Arduino library for ESP32 devices, that connects over Bluetooth with a Wii remote (Wiimote), and its optional connected Nunchuk.

This fork has the following improvements:

  • better output in example
  • optional accelerometer read-out of Wiimote itself

On the ESP32, it reports easily at 100Hz:

  • all regular button presses (A/B/C/Z/1/2/-/Home/+/D-Pad)
  • the 3-dimensional acceleration/orientation of both Wiimote and Nunchuk
  • the analog joystick of the Nunchuk

Requirement

  • ESP32 board (any)
  • Arduino IDE (Version >= 1.8.5)
  • Wii Remote (RVL-CNT-01)
  • Wii Nunchuk (optional)

Installation

  1. Download the zip file.
  2. Move the zip file to your libraries directory.
  3. In the Arduino IDE, navigate to Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library.
  4. Select the zip file.

Examples

A full example can be found at ESP32WiimoteDemo.ino

  • Caution: the accelerometers report a lot of data
  • This can get filtered/prevented by using 'add filter(ACTION_IGNORE,...)'
  • The reports from the analog joystick of the Nunchuk can als be configured for larger minimal steps

Usage

No need to pair the controller over Bluetooth. Just do:

  1. To connect, press the 1 and 2 buttons on Wii Remote
  2. The LED1 will be on when they have finished connecting
