Communicate between Wii remote sensors and BeagleBone black

[AhmedSamara]

A wii-remote+ contains a gyroscope, accelerometer, and an IR camera (which can be used to detect walls) and costs $30.
For now, in keeping with the philosophy of we'd just like to be able to read basic values from all these sensors and onto the BeagleBone

Notes

• Wii remote plugs in over bluetooth.
• We may use an IMU in the future, which do much the same thing, but these are much cheaper and we already have a few on hand and it would be a neat thing to show few members.
• This has been done before, we just need to get it working on the BeagleBone.

  Requirements

• Read Gyroscope, accelerometer, IR camera values and send to BeagleBone.

  Resources

• Several wii remote hacking videos
• Guide on interfacing with wii remote

Does anyone have a wii-remote, a bluetooth and a BeagleBone black that we can non-destructively barrow?

specifically a bluetooth dongle.
