Connect an ESP32 to a wii or a wiimote using FreeRTOS. Thanks to nickbits1024 for the original work, this version is just the same but for ESP-IDF 5.3.1 With the "components" version, you can :
- Pair your ESP32 with a real wii
- Communicate real buttons with the wii
- Use a Joystick to simulate the wiimote's IR
- Use your accelerometer ADXL345 on the wii.
Missing feature :
- Power on and off
- Reconnect to the wii after a disconnection
- Use games that uses specific data reports that we didn't do.
- ESP-IDF v5.3.1
- Python 3.11.7
- ESP32 Dev Module NodeMCU from Joy-It
- ACCELEROMETER ADXL345
- OLED SCREEN SSD1306
- DISTANCE SENSOR VL53L1X
- JOYSTICK ADA512
Install ESP-IDF :
Select the instructions depending on Espressif chip installed on your development board:
(not required anymore) Then run in the project folder:
- cd components
- git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32.git
- cd arduino-esp32
- git checkout 3.1.0-RC2
Manual transfer: In the root :
- idf.py build
- idf.py flash -p [COM port]
optional :
- idf.py monitor
Automatic (only on Linux)
- Launch "Build and Flash ESP32.desktop"
Check the branch Kicad to know what to connect on what on the ESP32 before using. Use the same components.
Once flash on the ESP32, the 4 leds should blink. If it's the case, then press the wii's sync button and you can now use your ESP32 like a real Wiimote. If you launch any games, restart your ESP32 and then redo the same process for connection.
- Clean the code
- Optimizations
- Make Power button work
- Automatic Reconnection
- Add wii connector for I2C addons (like Nunchuck, wii motion plus and more)
