XWiimote-Godot

XWiimote-Godot is a GNU/Linux shared library API for communication between godot GDscript to the xwiimote kernel API

Requirements:

linux kernel 3.1 or newer (3.11 or newer recommended)

$ uname -r

bluez-4.101 or newer (bluez-5.0 or newer recommended)

for version >5.0

$ bluetoothctl --version

for version <5.0

$ bluetoothd --version

Godot Engine

Prerequisites

xwiimote-2 (included in kernel since linux-3.1)

SCons

godot-cpp

Setting up GDNative C++

Follow these Instructions until Creating a simple Plugin

I'm not sure if your user needs to be in the input group in order to run this without escalating privileges. if you experience issues add your user to the 'input' group.

Building xwiimote-godot

place godot-cpp in same directory as the src directory and run

$ scons platform=linux target=release

in the module folder.

This will create 'libxwiimote-godot.so' in the '/wiimote/bin/x11' directory which will execute when the library is loaded from gdscript.

To change the target directory to your program eg example edit the SConstruct file line 14 from 'wiimote/bin' to 'example/bin'

Setting up your own project

In the wiimote controlled object load the godot native library

var player = load("res://bin/libxwiimote-godot.gdns").new()

check if there are available devices using list_devices

player.list_devices()

then set the xwiimote interface using set_iface, returns 0 if unsuccessful

player.set_iface(playerid)

then open the interface using open_iface

player.open_iface()

then poll the interface using poll_iface

player.poll_iface()

this starts a new thread that edits the XWiimoteGodot object indefinetly until

player.close_iface()

is called

All XWiimoteGodot interfaces

// miscellaneous methods
// sets interface pointer
.set_iface( playerid )

// opens interface to wiimote
.open_iface()

// creates a new detached thread then indefinately edits stored values
.poll_iface()

// closes interface
.close_iface()

.list_devices()

.get_battery()

.set_led()

.get_led()

.set_rumble()

.reset_all()
