Title: Get input from wiimote
Post by: 0x454d505459 on 28 June 2022, 18:41:35
Hello there, I have an old type 2 wiimote (the white one without motion+), Im able to connect it using bluetooth but unable to have any inputs. Any help on that ? Thanks

Btw, I have latest zen kernel, and I use RUNIT as my init system, the Uinput module is loaded.

Thanks again for the help.

I did, but the only I can get installed is cwiid, unfortunately it gets worse installing it. The remote imediatly disconnect after connecting. I tried compiling wiic but it doesn't compile at all.

You are possibly trying to use unmaintained packages? cwiid last updated 2018-04-03, wiic last updated 2015-06-22

There is a cwiid-git package which is maintained. Have you tried that one ?
However https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wiimote suggests

cwiid
Note: This approach is based on software which is no longer developed upstream. You should use the Linux kernel driver and uinput or XWiimote instead.

Turns at that this time the older cwiid package installed and using wminput to start it works. Only thing to find now is how to disable the accelerometer. Thanks for your help guys.

Ok Sorry. I had a quick look.

Edit: That package is ancient as well ! 
But then I suppose so is the Wii ?
