Wiimote Stuff: Wiimote on Ubuntu Linux part 1
Uploaded by: CalcProgrammer1
Video Description:
I found out about the CWiid project, which consists of a library called libwiimote, a wminput application to make your Wiimote into a mouse, keyboard, or joystick, and wmgui, a Wiimote GUI. In this video, I only use wmgui, which isn't that useful, but it shows the status and readout of the Wiimote data. The PC is running Ubuntu Linux 7.04 with the IOGear GBU221P USB Bluetooth Adapter (the blue glowy thing is a USB hub, my laptop only has one USB port, the Bluetooth adapter and my wireless mouse are plugged into it). The music is the end credits music from Twilight Princess (it's from the Wii, at least, didn't have anything better for background music).
The camera takes a while to focus...that's because it's older than I am, I had to record directly through my PC TV card because recording to VHS-C would mean horrible tracking issues.

| Download the end credits? I have a video editing software called Sony Screenblast Movie Studio that you can type credits into and it will scroll them. I got the music from the "unofficial soundtrack" for Twilight Princess. |

| Beryl doesn't run on a Pentium 3 850MHz with lousy ATi Rage Mobility 128 (16MB) graphics. Beryl DOES run (nicely) on my other (desktop) PC, AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (2.13GHz) with ATi Radeon X1600Pro 512MB graphics, but the laptop's easier to film with. |

| But now on my good desktop PC, I upgraded to Ubuntu 7.10 Beta and Compiz Fusion rules, it makes Beryl look stupid, it's insanely easy to install and works better :) |

| Not at all! It's a lot easier to set up in Linux than Windows, actually, because Linux has real drivers...Windows only has "drivers" (user-mode GUI applications that mimic drivers) like WiinRemote and GlovePIE. |

| The latest version has a feature called "Wubi", which installs Ubuntu as a hard disk image from within Windows. I'm not entirely certain how it works, but the whole idea of it is so you don't need to partition your hard drive or anything to try it out. |

| Hey CalcProgrammer1, I have been experimenting a lot with making homebrew games for the wii and I must thank you for making this vid, as it has given me a great idea for my final exams. You wouldn't happen to know of any coding examples involving the wiimote accelerometer? |
