can i connect directly to an arduino board? so that it does not require a middle man? i want to be able to record the data output from the remote via the arduino.
When you have questions on interfacing Arduinos with hardware, it's always a good idea to check the Playground in addition to posting questions on the Forum. In this case, the Joysticks / Gamepads subsection has at least a couple of links dealing specifically with the Wii remote.
