bluetooth via wii remote

[ventus]

Hello ,
this is my first post here. What i would like to do is to create a communication between my NXT and my Wii remote control via bluetooth. What i want to learn is do i need any special device in order to create a communication between them (e.x Bluetooth™ Dongle ) ?

The NXT bluetooth interface is not compatibel to the Wii remote. You can use a PC between them to transform the communications protocol. The Wii remote is an Humain Interface device (like Keyboard and mouse), while the NXT is a generic serial device.

Hi,
however, it seems that it is not too complicated to use a Nunchuk as an NXT sensor. See e.g. here:

I know that this does not 100% meet the question, but who knows...
Regards,

The Nunchuck has an I2C interface which can be attached to the next. As far as I remeber, you need a 3,3V regulator to power the nunchuck. Anyway, this has nothing to do with bluetooth since it uses a wired connection. I thought you asked for the Wii remote, that's another device.

Guys i am trying to build a communication between my Wii remote control and my NXT car model.
How can i do this? Can you give me an example?

The two devices are not compatible to each other. The bluetooth interface of the NXT does not support the protocol that is used by the Wii remote. You would need to use a PC in the middle between both.

Yeah i know about that. So what exactly do i need? And also do you have any source code examples for that?

Unfortunately I cannot help with details. I never tried that. Maybe this Video helps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOc7aIor ... re=related

The software that guy offers in the video doesn't exist anymore.

Yes, here's an example on how to use the IR camera on the WiiMote directly from your NXT... It's pretty neat :
