Okay, so I finally got to it. A few months ago I bought a wiimote to play a bit with the api’s floating on the net. It was until yesterday that I actually tried a driver, and since that seemed to work okay, I decided to give it a try myself. My simple goal, being an app plotting the raw inputs. However, it took me a 2 hours more than expected (1 =)) and also a lot more blood, sweat and tears. \ud83d\ude09 particularly because I made a lot of mistakes due to me being too tired \ud83d\ude09 So I will keep it short for now as I want to go to sleep.<\/p>\n

I choose the wiiuse<\/a> library as it seemed adequate for the job and still active (and even cross platform!). I started from the included example and tried to wrap it into a Qt app (hence I named it example-qt ;)). The obvious choice for drawing is using QGraphicsView. However, for once ;), I took the effort to see if there are no existing Qt graph plotting libraries. And this just happens to be the case. \ud83d\ude42 Meet the excellent QWT<\/a> lib. It couldn’t be more fit for the job. The site is (almost) nothing but the api docs, but that seemed sufficient. One second I thought this lib would not be qt4 ready, but it has been ported!<\/p>\n

Quite a few seconds and segfaults later \ud83d\ude09 I got this:
\nwii experiment<\/a><\/p>\n

Nothing fancy, but it does show the roll and pitch!! =)<\/p>\n
