Control your #RaspberryPi with a Wiimote

Matthew Timmons-Brown, aka The Raspberry Pi Guy, has done another tutorial video. This time he tackles the complexities (or simplicities) of getting a Wiimote running in conjunction with your Pi. It’s very simple and he’s done some example code so that you can hack away without going back to first principles.

You need to have “git” installed for the tutorial. If you don’t, first run the following commands:

apt-get update
apt-get install git

Here’s the video:

  1. Hi,
    Thanks.for your video on Wii controller with Raspberry Pi.
    I followed all the steps and it went OK. Finally when I tried to run the code,
    i.e python wiimote.py

    I get the following error message,

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    file “wiimote.py” line 7, in
    import cwiid, time
    ImportError: No module named cwiid

    Could you tell me why I might be getting this error message. Its trying to find the cwiid module, have I made a mistake somewhere?

    Thanks,
