Arduino + Flash + Wii Nunchuck + Servos + Webcam. Part 1

Here’s part of what I’ve been working on over the last few days.

The Wii Nunchuck is connected to my Arduino using I2C.

For now, the webcam is just a standard webcam with the housing removed, and connected via USB.

It uses  hacked up code from here and here.

(If you want to make something like this, Making Things Talk is an outstanding book.)

Here’s a sample video:

[update]: Hello Hack a Day people! :)

[update]: As Dokument says, here’s an almost identical setup created long before I did this.

[update]: If you don’t want to cut the end off your Wii Nunchuck, you can buy one of these.

Recently I’ve been getting into all things electronic again. Strangely, I was doing this a year ago. 

Creating the Shopper 13 game sparked my enthusiasm, and I’ve been gathering new parts to experiment with:
Servos and header pins Making things talk

In addition to that, I’ve also got a Wii Nunchuck hooked up to my Arduino which I’m currently controlling Flash and Servos via the accelerometer and analog joystick. Oh, and a Laser.. and some Papervision too. When I’ve got something interesting, I’ll post it. Hopefully that’ll be in the next few days :)

Well I have to start building my robot army somewhere..
