[Bluez-devel] WiiMote driver

[Bluez-devel] WiiMote driver

[Andy Spencer]

I've been thinking about purchasing a WiiMote when they become
available in order to start working on a linux mouse driver for it.
Since it communicates using bluetooth this seems to be the most
appropriate place to do development. Anyway, I've never done much with
bluetooth or drivers before so I'm going at this as a bit of a
learning project. If anyone else is interested let me know.  I'll be
reading though source code, but if anyone has any suggestions about
where to start or what documentation to check out let me know that as
well.

it depends a little bit on which profile(s) they actually support. My
guess would be it is HID or AVRCP.

Just some follow-up. I got a wiimote today and did a little bit of
looking around at it, It does seems to support HID, however I'm not
entirely sure how to use it yet. I put up a wiki at
http://spenceal-3.student.rose-hulman.edu/wiimote/ with some
additional information I got off of it.
