NAME
Linux::Input::Wiimote - Perl interface to the libcwiimote library
SYNOPSIS
This is a perl interface to the C library libcwiimote (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwiimote/ ).
It implements most of that API and provides access to most functions of the wiimote.
libcwiimote version 0.04 must be installed and the bluetooth dameon must be running
Auto discovery is not yet built in. You must know the id of your wiimote. You can use hcitool scan
to find the id.
METHODS
wiimote_connect( ID OF YOUR WIIMOTE ): pass in the id of your wiimote such as '00:19:1D:75:CC:30'. Returns 0 on success
wiimote_update : updates the wiimote. Should be called often
wiimote_discover: discovers and returns the id of the last wiimote it sees. WARNING, this method has bugs and will segfault if it doesn't find a wii quickly
set_wiimote_rumble: starts/stops rumble. Pass in 1 to start, 0 to stop
set_wiimote_ir: starts/stops ir sensor. Pass in 1 to start, 0 to stop
get_wiimote_tilt_x
get_wiimote_tilt_y
get_wiimote_tilt_z
get_wiimote_axis_x
get_wiimote_axis_y
get_wiimote_axis_z

get_wiimote_ext_nunchuk_axis_z
get_wiimote_ext_nunchuk_joyx
get_wiimote_ext_nunchuk_joyy
IR sensor position (must first set_wiimote_ir(1) to start ir sensor) NOT YET FINISHED:

EXAMPLE
use Linux::Input::Wiimote;
my $wii = new Linux::Input::Wiimote;
$wii->wiimote_connect('00:19:1D:75:CC:30');
while ( $wii->is_open() ) {
$wii->wiimote_update();
print "Wiimote Key bits: " . $wii->get_wiimote_keys_bits() . "\n";
}
TODO
* Add support for multiple remotes (it is already in libcmote)
* Add auto descovery of wiimote
KNOWN BUGS
* wiimote_discover can cause a segfault
