Using some software and a microcontroller you are able to use the Wiimote Nunchuck port to transmit data.
“The nunchuk sends a 6 byte packet to the wiimote. For an in depth discussion of the format go to wiili.org. So you can send whatever data you want across the wiimote, just send it 6 bytes at a time. On the PC side, there are a number of wiimote drivers to choose from. Since am running Linux, I am using libcwiimote. Running the program test1, the Arduino’s data shows up as nunchuk data.”

There is now a way to control your LEGO creations using your Nintendo Wiimote!
“OnBrick is a 20 button programmable NXT remote controller for PDAs & PCs, using Bluetooth. Each RC button executes a user defined program – so now you can play with your NXT robots while building them. Pretty useful for testing sensors too. There are 36 actions, most with a single parameter, including calibrated moves, wait for sensor events, simple sounds, individual motor control & power settings, loops… ”

If the Rubens Tube wasn’t interesting enough, have a look at what you can do when you through a Wiimote into the mix!

Here is a cool way to keep your hands on your Wiimote. 
Ryan Culy is a gifted modder, can’t wait to see his future work.
“The basic idea is that you strap the nunchuck to one arm and press the analog stick against your leg to use it. The C and Z buttons are ported out and attached to the side of the main Wii-mote, thus making it the main controller but with nunchuck support. I picked this project because it has a good purpose and I’ve had lots of requests for something similar, and unfortunately haven’t gotten around to doing it myself.”

Virtual Hosting has put together a HUGE list of 100 things you can do with the Wii. See the first 10 below, read the full article for the remaining 90 uses.

If you are looking for a more realistic Wiimote Gun, why not build it out of solid steel? That is exactly what Flame500 has done.
“Ever since I heard about the wiimote’s camera based aiming system I thought “wow that would make an epic pistol” and since it came out I had not seen anything that looked like it could still stand up to the abuse of playing and also looked like a convincing pistol. I believe anyone could build this mod given some decent tools and softer/thinner aluminum. The aluminum I had wasn’t really ideal as it was made to be machined and thus was extremely hard. This made cutting it on my cheap as hell bandsaw rather tedious. I started with a template of a colt .45 and traced it out on one of my slabs of 1/2inch aluminum.
After about an hour of cutting I had this.”

If you are interested in reading the raw Nunchuck data for a project, the code provided here can help you do that using an Arduino microcontroller.
“With a little hacking, data can be read from a wii nunchuck directly into an Arduino, using TWI (aka I2C). The nunchuck contains a 3 axis accelerometer, joystick and buttons for only $19.95. The same accelerometer in kit form, cost $34.95 at Sparkfun. Plus the nunchuck is already wired up in a nice clean case! So the wii nunchuck should fit nicely into anyones robotic project.”

The Wiimote Swing by Erik Loyer is an interesting way to display text on your screen.
Video after the jump.
“Enter your text and hit the Home button on the remote. Then, hold the Wiimote sideways, with the D-pad on the left and facing upwards, and twist it back and forth like a steering wheel to advance through syllables. Roll the Wiimote towards you to make the text grow larger, and away from you to make it shrink. Up and Down on the D-pad (technically Left and Right, as you’re holding the Wiimote sideways) will step manually through syllables; the 2 button will cause the current text fragment to fade out.”

The Nintendo Gun provided a better point and shoot mechanism than the add on modules that are available for the Wiimote. This hack allows you to adapt one of the original Nintendo Guns to work with the Wiimote. Since the Wiimote uses an IR camera to look at the sensor bar that sensor needs to be removed and installed in the tip of the gun.

Why not make music with your wiimote!
“This video is about controlling a modular synth with Nintendo’s wiimote gamepad, using Doepfer A-100, Doepfer MCV24, Wiimote and computer. Softwares used are Bluesoleil, Glovepie and midiox. This video is not an artistic demonstration but a technical explanation of this system (that can be used for making music ofc).”
