But I could be wrong. I’ve heard, after watching a few videos on Youtube, that it has something to do with Glovepie. But I could be wrong.

The bad part is that i dont know how to hack!!! I love the wii and NXT. The bad part is that i dont know how to hack!!!

If it uses I2C (I cannot find anywhere what the wire protocol is from the nunchuck to the wii remote), would it be possible to make it plug directly into the nxt. Thus from one port one could get 1) Analogue joystick, 2) 2 Buttons 3) 3 Axis Accelerometer Optimally, it would be great if it is possible to hack a special cord to do this, but I really don't know whether the nunchuck and the NXT would be electronically compatible. it looks like the buttons are on a seperate PCB to the rest so that could also come in handy. Anyone know if this is possible? I think latency will be a limiting factor in using an accelerometer over BT - latency would stop making a lego 'balancer' or something like that, but if we could have a direct wire interface, it would be fast enough to do some pretty cool stuff, and at $AUS30 i would even consider cutting the wires and soldering up a dedicated a nunchuck for lego. Thoughts anyone? I like the idea of using bluetooth, but has anyone considered the Nunchuck on its own instead?

(The wiimote returns position and size data for up to 4 IR lightsources seen from the front IR-sensor) What’s even more interesting about the wii-mote is the IR-position calibration scheme, which could be used for some nice GPS-like system… (The wiimote returns position and size data for up to 4 IR lightsources seen from the front IR-sensor)

The technical guide to the Wii (the one linked to in the post) says that the wiimote uses the bluetooth HID rather than SPP (serial), so I think that they won't really talk to each other. Once the NXT firmware is released, we can hope that somebody will modify the firmware of the BT module to allow it to talk to HID devices, and then we'll be able to use wiimotes, BT keyboard and mice, etc. That will be really great. But right now, the NXT only talks to SPP devices, which does not include human-interface devices. I think that it won’t be easy to link the wiimote directly to the NXT.
