Python Wiimote Hacks
====================
This repository contains some little experiments with Nintendo Wiimote Remote Control
on GNU/Linux.
My first experiment is a tiny modular wiimote based remote control application:
* pywiimote-control
pywiimote-control
-----------------
This tiny python application, based on cwiid python bindings, is born to address some wminput's
limitations :-(
wminput can't send complex key shortcuts (es. Ctrl-Alt-Left)
Modules:
* wmcompiz: send compiz dbus messages
* wmsendkeys: send key shortcut with xtest api
* wmdesktop: wmcompiz wmsendkeys
* wmmidi_guitar: connect to zynaddsubfx midi input and emulate a guitar (wiimote nunchuk)
* wmmidi_drums: connect to hydrogen midi input and emulate drums (wiimote nunchuk)
* wmdummy: do nothing :-P
So i've coded a little module to send key (and complex key shortcut) and dbus message to compiz
dbus module.
You can use this module to control your desktop during presentations ;-)
Later... a video on youtube of drums and guitar emulations with wiimote custom application...
I need it... on my GNU/Linux box... NOW!!!
My approach to musical instrument simulations based on wiimote and nunchuk gesture is different from
the applications I've seen googling around:
I don't want that wonderful...shiny... gui interfaces... wiimote is different user interaction
we can do it better :-)
I want a tiny application as platform to rapid experiments on different calibration solutions
or gesture recognition... I don't want to code a gui... I don't want to code a synthetizer...
I don't want 40000 code lines of gothic architecture code :-D
I want a 2-line-modular-application to experiment tiny-little-incremental-absolutely-empirical
gesture recognition for musical instrument simulations (yes... I'm crazy... I0m really crazy ;-)).
The trick is to outsourcing the synthesis phase to real professionals in the area ;-)
* zynaddsubfx (guitar)
* hydrogen (drums)
Requirements
------------
* cwiid (and the included python bindings)
* pyportmidi
* pycompiz
* python-xlib
* zynaddsubfx
* hydrogen
* jack

Just 4 fun :-D
