Wiimote G-Force Logger


Wiimote G-Force Logger records accelerometer data from the Wiimote.
As indicated in Wiimote Apps 's blog, the recorded file can be analyzed and viewed with Excel or OpenCalc .

Reccurence can be set : an interesting idea.

WiiAcc

[WiAcc - Newspaper]

WiiAcc enables "on-the-fly" vizualisation of accelerometer data.

The following videos illustrate how physic experiments are easy-to-use for educationnal purposes.

Unfortunately, Google's translator is too imprecise to deliver a good description but the blog, the presentations and the videos are very interesting.

WiimoteCom Wrapper for Matlab

As the same as fWIIne, WiimoteCOM brings communication between wiimote and Matlab (with a class, here).

By the way, several applications and other m files are available.

See also the dedicated Wiki .


Of course, interesting, here. I will come back about this application, later.

Finally, other documents to browse around the web :



* You want to know the best library and scientific tools to use with the wiimote. See the following thesis proposal.

* Use of the Wiimote as an artistic interface needs a swift analysis of the wiimote performances. (source : The WIII group - He Huang, Scott Lahiff & Felipe Zamarron)
