http://austindavid.com/t/wiiceiver-github The Wiiceiver is a drop-in "plug and play" replacement for a standard R/C receiver. It has a Nintendo Wii Nunchuck connection, a 3-pin ESC connector, and an available connector for an external BEC if required. The Wiiceiver is intended for use on an electric skateboard. The Y-axis (up/down) is throttle -- push up to speed up, middle is neutral, down is brakes. These function roughly the same as on a standard RC transmitter. Wiiceiver also implements a few additional functions: - X/Y joystick axes, X/Y/Z accelerometers, and the two buttons are monitored to confirm that the nunchuck is "active" -- as opposed to dropped or low battery. When "inactive" the wiiceiver returns to neutral, and will not re-start until it detects and active neutral signal - C button is "cruise control" -- press and hold C to maintain the current throttle level. Drop the joystick to neutral to cruise. While holding C, pressing the joystick "up" will increase speed gently, "down" will decrease speed. Releasing C returns to neutral. - Control smoothing: Wiiceiver implemenets an exponential algorithm to smooth the controller input. As currently tuned, an instant 0-100% throttle input will result in a gradual change to the ESC over the course of about 1s. It has been tested to work with a corded Nintendo nunchuck, a Memorex wireless nunchuck, and a Nyko Kama wireless nunchuck.
