Simply adding some basic instructions for wii remote

New page

There are numerous ways to achieve control of the N900 using a wii remote. Please have a look at this [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=19658 thread]

The method described here uses cwiid and wminput. This method is an expansion on the instructions provided [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=19658&page=13 here] by the user thp, who re-packaged cwiid.

change to root (by whichever method you chose)

''root''

install cwiid-utils from extras-devel.

''apt-get install cwiid-utils''

if not already installed install python-cwiid

''apt-get install python-cwiid''

Then execute the following two commands

''modprobe uinput''

''chmod a+rw /dev/input/uinput''

Then create a config file. The file below is for controlling the inbuilt media player

Wiimote.Left = KEY_LEFT
Wiimote.Right = KEY_RIGHT

Wiimote.A = KEY_SPACE
Wiimote.B = KEY_SPACE

Wiimote.Minus = KEY_F7
Wiimote.Plus = KEY_F8

The code was saved in /home/user/.cwiid/wminput/mediaplayer
This is one of the places that gets searched by wminput as detailed [http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/wiki/wminput here]

Once saved ensure bluetooth is on and simply execute:
''wminput -c mediaplayer''
from the command line. then press the 1 and 2 buttons on thhe wii remote and the command line should say ready after a little while. Once done simply start the media player. Once started simply use the wii remote buttons to control it. You can skip songs (forward and backward), pause/play and change volume.
