Controlling a robot arm with a Wiimote
« on: November 15, 2011, 12:47:50 am »
That was one of my school projects: controlling this arm, as shown in this video, with a Wiimote. It's kinda hard to control this 20 years old thing with a Wiimote though...

Is the arm moving by the remotes motion, or are you pressing buttons? or both?

Thanks guys, and yep that's me, the guy with the awesome beard. The waist and the shoulder are controlled by the remote's motion, the rest with the buttons (1, 2 and D-pad controls the 3 other motors). I think pretty much every function but the IR have a function. (+/- sets speed, Home returns the arm to its home position, the LEDs shows in binary (0-15) the joint being moved/speed being set)
