Wii Fit board speaks to Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm not the world's biggest Linux fan and I don't own a Wii, but I can always
| appreciate ingenuity, even if the clear benefits of said ingenuity are not
| immediately recognizable.
|
| Case in point, Matt Cutts has connected a Wii Fit balance board to a Linux
| box via Bluetooth. So far, all he can do is weigh himself in kilograms and
| move a red dot around by leaning in different directions on the balance
| board.

Talking to a Wiimote in Ubuntu 8.10
,----[ Quote ]
| To add Wiimote support on Ubuntu 8.10, start by running the command “sudo
| apt-get install wminput wmgui lswm” to install the CWiid library and
| associated software.
|
| If you’re using a desktop machine, you probably don’t have Bluetooth
| capability. If you run the program “lswm” and see the message “No Bluetooth
| interface found” then you need to get a Bluetooth adapter, which is a dongle
| that uses a USB port to add Bluetooth abilities. I bought the IOGear GBU421
| because it seems to be well-supported in Linux and only costs about $20. It’s
| also so tiny that it’s cute.

Rotating the compiz cube using a Wiimote
,----[ Quote ]
| Today, David has brought his Wiimote at Mandriva office so that we
| make some experiments with the Wiimote linux drivers. I've started
| with WMD, which is a python program that can generate input events
| based on the info sent by the Wiimote (on Bluetooth).

| For the first time, you can hit your computer and get a meaningful
| response! Using Linux and the Hard Drive Active Protection System
| (HDAPS) kernel drivers, you can access the embedded accelerometers on
| Lenovo (formerly IBM) ThinkPads, then process the accelerometer data
| to read specific sequences of "knocking" events -- literally rapping on
| the laptop case with your knuckles -- and run commands based on those
| knocks. Double tap to lock the screen, and knock in your secret code
| to unlock. Tap the display lid once to move your mp3 player to the
| next track. The possibilities are endless.

FlightGear + Wiimote
,----[ Quote ]
| With thanks to WMD, you could use the Wiimote under Linux fairly easily.
| For those who don't know Wiimote talks to the Wii console via bluetooth.
| So it works with any computer with bluetooth as well.
