Use a Wii Balance Board with Linux

June 28, 2009 | General | By: Mark VandeWettering

An interesting part of the Nintendo Wii design is that they rely on bluetooth for connecting their joysticks and (as it turns out) their Balance Board peripheral. This makes them pretty darned hackable. I’ve seen lots about using the “WiiMote” with computers, but this is the first I’ve seen that interfaces with the Balance Board. Nifty.
