As an bonus feature, it's possible to use Nintendo Wii Remotes with Quack
Normal operation mode
The Wiimote should be used in the vertical position. Pairing is done by using the red button in the battery compartiment After a successful pairing process, the Wiimote will play a chime and rumble for half a second
Controls are as follow:
- Directional pad is used to move the cursor
- B is for click
- A is for half-click (sticky mode)
- ➕ and ➖ are for cursor speed
LEDs meaning:
- slow speed cursor
- medium speed cursor
- high speed cursor
- pairing done
The following remotes are supported in this mode:
- Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 (First generation)
- Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR (Wii Motion Plus)
- PDP Rock Candy (Need a repair every boot, same as with some Wiis)
Others clones may or may not work. Extensions are not supported and should not be plugged in
Experimental operation mode
The Wiimote driver inside quack only supports basic features. Using the Wiimote to move the cursor like on a real Nintendo Wii (aim at the screen) would require both Wii Motion Plus and a Light bar to work well. This is out of scope of this project
That being said, if you want some extra difficulty on Arkanoid or Space Invaders, there is a "rough" X-Axis only motion mode
The feature needs a calibration first. Put the Wiimote flat on a surface and then press the home button. The Wiimote will rumble and start calibrating. LEDs 1 to 3 will go off. Once the calibrating is done, the Wiimote will rumble again.
Flipping the remote left or right will make the cursor move to that direction
Press home again to go back to standard mode
