Tutorial: How to Use Wii Nunchuk

The Wii Nunchuk is an accessory for the Nintendo Wii that allows games to be controlled with natural hand movements. It is ideal for both beginners and DIY project creators who want to add highly sensitive control inputs to their projects.

What you need

• Nintendo Wii or PC
• USB cable (to connect to the PC)
• Nunchuk driver (if necessary)

Steps

1. Connect the Wii Nunchuk to the Nintendo Wii following the instructions in the manual.
2. If you are using a PC, connect the Wii Nunchuk via a USB cable to an available USB port on your machine.
3. Check the datasheet if necessary to install specific drivers for your operating system.
4. Open the Arduino library for Wii Classic Controller and Wii Nunchuck (if not already installed).
5. Load a sketch that reads data from the Wii Nunchuk into your Arduino microcontroller.
6. Check the datasheet for the list of specific commands for the Wii Nunchuk.
7. Obtain the values of the joysticks, buttons, and wheels.
8. Interface these inputs with your preferred project or game.

Example code

// Includi la libreria
#include <Wire.h>
#include <WiiChuck.h>

// Crea un oggetto WiiChuck
WiiChuck wch;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  if (wch.isConnected()) {
    int joyX = wch.joystickX();
    int joyY = wch.joystickY();
    bool zButton = wch.buttonZ();
    Serial.print("Joy X: "); Serial.println(joyX);
    Serial.print("Joy Y: "); Serial.println(joyY);
    Serial.print("Z Button: "); Serial.println(zButton);
  }
}

Mini project

Create a control system for robots or drones using the Wii Nunchuk as a remote. You can use the joystick and button data to control the direction, altitude, and other functions of your device.
