#Introducing the Simple Wiimote gem version 0.3

In this version you are expected to create your own class which inherits from the SimpleWiimote class. e.g.

require 'simple_wiimote'

class MyWiimote < SimpleWiimote

end

mwm = MyWiimote.new

Each button has 3 events: on_btn_[buttonid]press, on_btn[buttonid]down, and on_btn[buttonid]_up. The down and up events are useful when you want to hold down a button while capturing data from the accelarometer. Each default button event can overridden with your own code.
