Hello, everyone.
I am new to the whole Arduino scene. However due to some college project, I have to take up the versatile and wonderful, yet confusing world that is the Arduino. Thus, I decided to ask for everyone's help. The end project that I must complete Before December is to read the angle at which a Wii nunchuck is held at and then have the Arduino send a signal to a servo motor to move it to the read angle. I don't know if this is a fairly simple project or if it is outlandishly difficult. I know that from all the research I've done, it's proving to be very tricky. The main reason being that I can't even get it going.
I decided that before I tackle the big fish, I wanted to the Arduino to be able to read the values from a Wii nunchuck and read it from the serial monitor. Thus I got the code from “WiiChuck” Wii Nunchuck Adapter Available – todbot blog (everyone seems to be deferring me to that site...) and I ran the WiichuckDemo.pde, but all I got for the values were 0 for the accelerometers and 1 for the buttons whether or not I pressed them. Additionally, the program sometimes doesn't even start sometimes. I think that the problem is that I'm using an Arduino UNO and Tod, and pretty much the rest of the internet, uses a Duemilanova. People say that the difference isn't that great, but apparently it's enough to case this code to malfunction. Thus I was hoping that some kind-hearted person would walk me through this mess and perhaps even guide me to my ultimate goal of controlling the servo motors with the nunchucks.
Please and thank you!
