Edited for the Debian Slug

In this page I will describe how to connect a Nintendo wiimote on your slug.

This Document is based on

• BluetoothAdapter
• http://libwiimote.sourceforge.net/
• http://www.wiili.org

My Hardware is

• NLSU2 with Debain (Linux version 2.6.18-5-ixp4xx (Debian 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch4) (dannf@debian.org) (gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)))
• Nintendo Wiimote (http://www.wiili.org/index.php/Wiimote)
• Bluetooth adapter
• USB key 2GB with Debian

The USB key is connected to "disk2". On "disk1" there is my bleutooth adapter

Basic Installation

• Install Debian and update via:
  

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

• Then reboot
  
• Run the following to install the needed packages:
  
  sudo apt-get install autoconf automake gcc pkg-config libbluetooth2 libbluetooth2-dev bluez-utils
  

Setup Bluetooth Adapter

Plugin your bluetooth adapter.

You should now be able to do:

hciconfig hci0 up

to make the Bluetooth interface available to the Bluetooth protocol stack.

Run hciconfig by itself again should give something like this:

hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN
RX bytes:8567 acl:125 sco:0 events:409 errors:0
TX bytes:4518 acl:128 sco:0 commands:130 errors:0


Config Bluetooth

sudo vim /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
change the security auto; to security none;
You'll need to restart bluetooth adapter:

/etc/init.d/bluetooth stop
/etc/init.d/bluetooth start


! Find the wiimote

You can scan for the presence of the Wiimote. You must first Press A and B buttons on the wiimote. The leds of the wiimote will fash after you can type:

hcitool inq

Please note the address of the wiimote is returned. This number is the address of the wiimote.

Install the libwiimote

Download from sourceforge
# You can download the library from here: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/libwiimote/libwiimote-0.4.tgz
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/libwiimote/libwiimote-0.4.tgz
# extract to a folder
tar -xzvf libwiimote-0.4.tgz

1. cd libwiimote-0.4
2. autoconf
3. ./configure
4. make
5. sudo make install

Pair the wiimote

Now we pair the wiimote.
hcitool cc xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Where the xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx use the address of the wiimote.

Run the test program

From the bin directory launch test1 with the wiimote address.
./bin/test1

To know

I think you can't use a bluetooth adapter from a USB hub. I should test this.

To do

I should actualy connect a wiimote.

Note

all but connecting a wiimote have been done.
