My son named this guy Big WALL-E in comparison to the smaller Interaction model he aptly named Little WALL-E...
Big WALL-E began life as a U-Command model and he (and his unfortunate owner) apparently spent a great deal of time over the past few years in some sort of second-hand smoker's Nirvana; yet I saw no mention of it on his eBay listing. At any rate, he was cheap and he dried out after a few months so it all worked out. Although it did take some time convincing a 5 year-old that Big WALL-E was destined for greater things and that playing with him while he was still oozing nicotine was a recipe for asthmatic disaster.
Here are a few pics of his progress...

HA! Brilliant! I can't wait to see
I have been working on a Wii Remote Control for ARC. It will work similar to the Joystick control. Where you assign servos or motion to the axis and scripts to buttons.
I have most of the code done (i think). But I do not have a Wii Remote to test with while i'm on the road. I'll be able to test and release the code when I return to Calgary next week
Wii remote will be a great addition!!
can't wait!!
Whats your veiw on hacking a Wii remote and using the camera in a robot for navigation or other stuff. The Wii bar thingy is just infra red LED's.
This quote from instructables
"The Wii IR camera is a beautiful thing. It has an integrated processor which outputs the X and Y positions and size of the 4 brightest IR points that is sees. This can be very useful for tracking in robotics or human interfaces" also there is a speaker and accelerometer
Looks like the camera uses I2C
winstn, please google or ebay search for wiichuck adapter for arduino, or "wiichuck arduino" for $8 you plug this little adapter into the wii cord without cutting it, and it fits in the arduino. it may fit in ez-b just as easliy, not sure. anyway, this is just so you can use a wii joystick
Will you be adding a Wii remote function to ARC aswell?
Its happening right now
Awesome. Sadly I don't have a Wii remote. I can think of a number of ways to incorporate into my security camera, using it to control the servos that rotate the camera on both a horizontal and vertical axis. Will the buttons on the remote have similar functions to those on a joystick? Also, is there any hacking required. If not I could maybe borrow one from a friend
creativita, please upload your picture to your avatar.
creativita, i went to a "family dollar" store, its like dollar general here in usa. i bought a wii remote for only $8 of course it was probably a chinese replica, but o well
