Examples

This page provides a brief description of each example included with this library.

Basic (no extra dependencies)

• enumerate.lua -- simple demo that prints all connected WiiMotes twice and exits.

• info.lua -- a little bigger example that reads static information about every WiiMote and prints it.

Basic (depend on lgi for polling functionality)

• monitor.lua -- more complicated demo that first prints all connected WiiMotes and then keeps printing newly connected ones.

• simple_read.lua -- this demo opens first found WiiRemote (and so do following ones) and then prints button presses on it and ProController (if one is connected).

• set_led.lua -- take input as one 4-char long string of 0's and 1's and set WiiRemote LEDs accordingly. Please note that this one may require root/sudo rights.

• test_rumble.lua -- use ENTER to turn rumble on/off.

GUI examples (depend on lgi for polling functionality and GTK+)

• buttons_demo.lua/buttons_demo.glade -- show fancy GTK+ window which display buttons currently pressed on your WiiRemote.

• ir_demo.lua/area_demo.glade -- draw IR sources reported by WiiRemote on the screen with dots (using GtkDrawingArea).

• movement_demo.lua/area_demo.glade -- show data reported by accelerometer or MotionPlus as lines like wiishow does (using GtkDrawingArea). To use MotionPlus, pass any argument.
