As shown in his Vimeo video, the nunchuck is connected to an Arduino that feeds MIDI data to a computer running the MIDI app Ableton Live. Ableton Live feeds that data to 3D Studio Max via MIDI Yoke.

The Arduino communicates with it over I2C, the same protocol that is used with the Nunchuk. To connect the two devices, he used jumper wires, but breakout boards are also available.

The Arduino is used to send gate signals to the Monotron, and by varying the voltage levels it changes the pitch. In the second demo, the Nunchuk is used to more intuitively control the Monotron ...

Regular Giz readers will have seen countless crazy homebrew inventions powered by the DIY Arduino platform—but this could be the strangest yet. How about a robotic tail that’s controlled by ...

At the heart of the rig is the always-useful Arduino platform, which employs some custom software to control the two electric motors powered by a pair of golf cart batteries, along with some robot ...

By combining a fancy-pants Rancilio Silvia espresso machine, the multi-purpose Arduino micro-controller, a Wii nunchuk, and some seriously high-level hacking, Tim has created a one-of-a-kind ...

The system uses an Arduino board with an XBee RF module and a custom connector for the Nintendo controller. Meanwhile Pleo gets an XBee RF link of its own, to receive control signals from the ...

At CES, Nyko showed off a wireless nunchuck controller that made playing the Wii a completely wireless experience, and it seemed like a good idea for people who hate all those unsightly cables ...
