Wiimote Telescope Control

Categories: PC Connect, Video, Wiimote Hack.

Here is a Wiimote that has been rigged up to control a telescope. The Wiimote seems to be such a natural hand control I could see this type of interface finding its way into many products.

Video after the jump.

“Kingjamez wanted a simple way to control his telescope. A Wiimote and some software ended up being the perfect solution for his automated telescope project. At the Howard Astro League star party last night, I was showing off the moon to kids through a video camera. I wanted to pan around the moon to show the kids different parts of the surface. Since I was using EQMOD with no joystick I had to use the directional pads on the laptop. It was very cumbersome.”
