A preview of Cha0s's Java Library for connecting with the Nintendo Wii Remote.
Clarifications about things in the video:
1. There are two IR mice. One uses the accelerometer, one doesn't.
2. I'm not the first person to play music with the Wii Remote speaker. I am, as far as I know, the first person to create an API that allows sound to be played with the speaker in such a simple manner.
3. As I'm sure you can tell, public speaking is not my strong point. I'm much more intelligible when typing, promise.
4. The music is Ya'll Ready For This by Jock Jams.
5. Yes, I voiced over some of the clips because I was somewhat unintelligible (that's why my voice changes, as some recordings are with the camera and others are with my computer's mic). See #3.
6. The debug messages are all those billions of lines printed out to the little green window. For instance, every time after a data write finishes...
7. The mice/acceleration data seem off sometimes because I often place the remote and nunchuk in my lap when I'm not using them, so they aren't exactly resting flat... Also, when I put the remote down it has a tendency to depress the B button. This is why that menu in the top right kept popping up when I was demoing the Nunchuk mice.
8. The audio file was 2.000 kHz 8-bit signed PSM encoded with iMovie, in case you're wondering.
