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 Why --- Just 4 fun :-D
