The nunchuck is meant to plug into a Wii controller and the connection is I 2 C, so that’s trivial to interface to an Arduino or other small microcontroller. The only issue is making the connection.

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 ...

He updated his NES controlled Silvia to become a Wii nunchuck controlled (via Arduino) Silvia. That said, his last couple of blog posts have me questioning just how much espresso he’s been drinking.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
