I want to be a part of this! I noticed that the schematics and parts lists are not documented, neither are any diagrams available/obvious. If you or anyone are continuing with this project, I would love to help with the documentation so people like me could get up and running with the code you provided!

Thanks!

Hi! I'm glad, that you're interested in my little creation. A few words about the diagrams, and the whole hardware. Basically I didn't use any special parts. It's only an Arduino Nano, and the MPU-9255 IMU, but any sensor can work. Maybe i could write down, how connect the sensor to the Arduiono board. And the controller was nothing complicated. I used a random cheap controller, cut the original wires, soldered every button to a digital port, and the thumbsticks to anagol ports on the arduino. And of course, connected the grounds. THe button PINs are defined on the top of the Arduino code, so it's easy to change them. And that was it. If you are interested in documenting the build process, then I'm glad to help you, but for now, I'm no longer interested in this project. I can provide more photos, and some links with tips and sources, if needed.

Hi!

I'm interested too. Ive bought two nunchuk(nunchucky 1.0) controller and arduino connector for i2c but yeah ... im trying to clean up the mpu sensor thingy and include the "arduino nunchuk library" but maybe this is not nesseary because the sketch i'm using outputs joystick,accel and buttons commaseperated to serial. Maybe you could take a look at the libs for a little help?(im not that good at scripting-.-)

edit: as far as i see you send the data with pipes and comma seperated or semicolon?

thx!
