Home made Starwars yoke for the technically challenged - talk me out of it!!!

BazookaJo:

Okay - nunchuks to PC adapter arrived today, and whilst it will allow me to utilise both triggers it does not utilise the accelerometers, so that will still have to be done via the wiimote  :cry:

Alternatively it may be that I can use the accelerometers on my mobile phone, but I would ideally want an app that will handle this but also has USB support - again trying to minimise the number of daisy-chained programs needed to stitch it all together.....

Now waiting for the trigger 'holsters' to attach the nunchuks to a metal pipe of my choosing - again, from China....

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm ;D


Sadly I'm still undeterred at this stage, and have probably spent £35+ so far on something that may never see the light of day.

The steering wheel and black nunchuks were passable enough not to deter me, but I also discovered that wii nunchucks have x/y accelerometers built in, so my next quest is to see if the accelerometers can be used to control the cross-hair instead of a the gyro in the wiimote?  If so this would be better than the bluetooth->stack software->gloviepie->PPJoy I have used previously.

So my most recent purchase was an adapter to connect 2 nunchuks to a PC via USB - perhaps this can be used directly with PPJoy to utilise the full set of controls from 1 nunchuck and  just the trigger from the other.....I await it's delivery from Hong Kong.
