Hi,
If you are interested in using a wii nunchuck, consider this:

Also, if a wired nunchuck is fine with you, it will be extremely cheap: (Rs 470)

and interfacing with arduino is not too hard:

If you really want the nitty-gritty of interfacing the nunchuck to another microcontroller:

Remember, the nunchuck can only measure pitch and roll not yaw. Actually, this shouldn't be a problem, but just keep it in mind when coding.

oh... it can be done wireless-ly. thanks.

[leelaprabhu93]

wireless nunchucks are more expensive though..

Go for a wired nunchuck,if its cheaper. Wireless isnt really required,we can just give longer cable.

ok... the wired one is around 470. the wireless one was $6 according to one source but in most sites it was given as $14.

I have attaches a very basic version of the abstract.

I havent finalized the algos yet. 

Bhuvana's mouse code for keyglove could help alot. 

The absence of yaw can be covered up for, I think...

[Adarsh Hasandka]

Looks good. Tell us if you need anything else. If you want to purchase something make sure to do so under the name of Engineer 2012.

[Leela Prabhu]

ok... i ll go for a wired or wireless nunchuck based on the price.
what is the max price you think i should pay for a wireless nunchuck?

[leelaprabhu93]

got a nunchuck for 350... this is what the port looks like.

You said you needed a better USB it I2C interface right? Check this out:

if you need something like this you can order one.

She got that working with an arduino I think.

got it working but its skipping values.

[Leela Prabhu]

i guess i can change the code though, no need for a i2c to uart
converter.... i am trying it with the i2c imu the 2nd years used for
pangea... i pulled out a wire from the nunchuck and i need a long
screwdriver to open it without cracking the case... can i borrow one
from the technites room? after mid-sems?

[Adarsh Hasandka]

Sure no problem. All technites Final Years should have a key to the room. Just ask any one of us to open it when you need access

[Leela Prabhu]

thanks! :D
