Actually my first project, a combination of both input and output. I used source code and schematics from: - http://geekswithblog...id_crystal.aspx (for the LCD) - http://geekswithblog...ervo-robot.aspx (for the Wii Chuck) The code isn't really neat but it works. See attachment and this video: I would like to note, this is my first C#-code so be kind in your judgement ;-)

Nice, Stefan. I saw this on YouTube yesterday. Very cool. Do you have a diagram (Fritzing perhaps?) showing how you hooked up the Wiimote? Chris

I'm not good at drawing but the WiiChuck Adapter has only 4 pins. I connected them like this:
- -> Gnd
+ -> 3.3V
d -> Analog In 4
c -> Analog In 5

The nunchuck only need 3.3V have I read. Adding a higher voltage then that will damage the nunchuck.
