Good job, was annoyed over it working nicely in the past with pre 1.0 Arduino IDE and the author didn’t update for post 1.0, anyway I tried the example and I get this:

Wiimote Bluetooth Library Started
Bluetooth Dongle Initialized
No response to HCI Reset
HCI Reset complete
Local Bluetooth Address: 00:02:5B:46:86:DC
Connecting to Wiimote
Connected to Wiimote
Send HID Control Connection Request

And it sits there for ages, the wiimote and dongle both blink for a while and then go dark but nothing happens beyond that, am I doing something wrong? I assumed that at some point it would reach a state where it reported back what I’m pushing etc.

@Christian Gerefalk
Try to create the instance like so: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/examples/Bluetooth/Wiimote/Wiimote.ino#L11 so it does a inquiry. If that doesn’t work then try to uncomment EXTRADEBUG (https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/Wii.cpp#L20) and send me the output.
Also try to use a different dongle 😉

I got two dongles one tiny that isn’t much larger than the USB port itself, and an old big box on a lead, both give the same result:

”
Wiimote Bluetooth Library Started
Bluetooth Dongle Initialized
No response to HCI Reset
HCI Reset complete

Press 1 & 2 on the Wiimote

Create the instance like so to connect automatically:
WII Wii(&Btd,0x00,0x18,0x00,0xF0,0x1D,0x18);
Connecting to Wiimote

”

If it matters my wiimote is a chinese copy, it works with an actual Wii and Wii emulators/gamepad utilities (glovepie etc).

I uncommented that line, should the output have been in the serial monitor? I only get what I pasted above.

I never got the old library to work at all since I got a 2.0 shield and 1.0.1 IDE

Both the wiimote and LED on the stick flash for a while after reaching there.

Bah can’t edit.

I did add that line btw here is my Wii.ccp in full: http://pastebin.com/hEzK1M3C and BTD.ccp in full: http://pastebin.com/XRngCHCH

Copied yours from the links you gave but that gave me “AnalogHat not defined in this scope” errors, so these are based on the ones I downloaded from github

Just updated the library and tried again with the same results, I do get warnings when compiling both the new and old version of the library btw, mostly:

“C:Program Files (x86)arduino-1.0.1librariesUSB_Host_Shield_2RFCOMM.cpp:1233: warning: only initialized variables can be placed into program memory area” a ton of those on that file and confdescparser.h etc, full log here: http://pastebin.com/xpk97ArE

@Christian Gerefalk
It sounds like you have added the library incorrectly if you are getting compiler errors. See this page for more information: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Hacking/Libraries
Make sure that you can select the example sketch in File>Examples>”folder name”>Bluetooth>Wii. Don’t try to copy and paste the code from github.

I did add it as I’ve done with all others I have working, I can open the example in the IDE, I got warnings etc turned on which isn’t the default setting in the IDE, it warns me about those, it doesn’t error out and stop.

@Christian Gerefalk
What hardware are you using?
I will try the same to reflect your setup.

Recent uno and and older mega1280, bluetooth dongles: http://dx.com/p/world-s-smallest-bluetooth-2-0-edr-usb-dongle-12696?item=20 something like that, exact same “design” anyway, and a credit card sized 1cm thick ancient dongle on a lead, controller: http://dx.com/remote-and-nunchuck-controller-for-wii-blue-37855?item=6 not loading for me here atm but it’s the third on this search: http://dx.com/s/Remote+and+nunchuck+controller+for+wii+blue ($13.90 one) as said before I’ve tried both dongles and the remote on my PC (dolphin, GlovePIE) and the remote with a real wii, works fine.

@Christian Gerefalk
Your comment was caught in our spam filter, so I haven’t seen it until now.
Okay, I still think that you are including the libraries wrong, I have several people who has confirmed that the library works great and they don’t get any errors at all.

@Christian Gerefalk
I thought a bit more about the problems you are having. Do you by any change got other version of the USB library inside the library folder? If so then remove them from there.

Hi,

Thanks for your job first, and I got the following error message, when I pluged in a nunchuck:

Extension connected
Checking extension port
Unknown Device: 00FA
Data: FF 00 A4 20 00 00

or a classic controller pro:

Extension connected
Checking extension port
Unknown Device: 00FA
Data: 01 00 A4 20 01 01

what is wrong with this?

@Fisher Wei
It seems like you Nunchuck is not returning the correct signature. The right one should be 00 00 A4 20 00 00. See: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/Wii.cpp#L230 and http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wiimote/Extension_Controllers.
Is it a third party Nunchuck? It’s pretty easy to fix. Just remove “l2capinbuf[15] == 0x00 &&” from the code at the line I just sent you.
The library doesn’t support the Classic controller as I haven’t got my hands on one yet.

@Lauszus
Hi, I think my nunchuck is not 3rd party, and if I plug nunchuck in before powering arduino on, it will work fine. If power on and pair at first, it will report error message. I don’t know why. 🙂

@Fisher Wei
Okay. Sounds weird. I can plug the Nunchuck in and out of the Wiimote without any problems. Try to remove the line I told you in the earlier reply and tell me if it works then. If so I will add it to the library.

@Lauszus
Yes, it works. I removed “l2capinbuf[15] == 0Ã?00 &&”.
And then, I have a new issue: I pluged motion plus in, arduino has not any responses, no “Unknown Device”, no “Motion Plus connected”. If I plugin before powering on, it also works.

@Fisher Wei
That is normal. You have to plug in the motion plus before powerup.

Is there any plans to support the IR camera?

@Michael Motes
No not currently 🙂

Very nice!

However, when I wanted to run the latest Wii example from git I had to comment out some DEBUG macros within the library code in order to produce a sketch that could fit on my Uno… The sketch is still around 26 kB and I was wondering if there is more debug code that takes up lots of space?

@Rick
All the debug messages can be disabled by comment out these line: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/BTD.cpp#L19 and https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/Wii.cpp#L19, but I guess you have already done that?

Yup…and that left me with a binary size of roughly 26 kB (Wii example). Is this ‘normal’? Kinda limits the possibilities when using the Uno with this library. But I guess that may be a problem of the complexity of USB…

@Rick
Yes that is normal. But you have to know that the example sketch actually takes up a lot of flash as it got so many strings.
Yes I’m afraid too, but take a look at the atmega644 (aka Sanguino: http://sanguino.cc/) at my github repository: https://github.com/Lauszus/sanguino it got the double amount of flash than the Uno and it’s also available in a DIP package.

Hi.
Thank you very much for your work. I am using arduino ADK with one of suggested Bluetooth dongle. I am unable to make it work with WII mote it is getting stuck at “Send HID connection request” I am enclosing debug information. Any help will be appreciated.

Could you try another Bluetooth dongle?
Also it look like that it aborted an ongoing connection. Please try to unplug the Bluetooth dongle and turn off the Wiimote and then try again.

Tried another dongle, received similar messages. It worked once and is not working again. Any delay issues with ADK?

Hmm try to add:

In your loop and see if that helps.

Tried and no luck. Still same issue. Tried three dongles so far. Bluetooth SPP works fine on all three.
Any more suggestions??

@Neni
No unfortunately no. We will start start to sell the Bluetooth dongles we use for the Balanduino in our shop, so people like you don’t have to search for a dongle that works with the library.
I expect that we will list it this month.

Thanks. I will wait for it. I have one more problem. I tired to compile PS3BT with Arduino 1.56 Beta 2 for Mega ADK. I am getting error whenever I enable host debugging.

@Neni
This is a bug in avr-gcc: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13410.

Try to remove some of the strings stored in flash like so:

Becomes:

Btw I can’t reproduce this, so I can not give you any more guidance than this. Also I know that the Arduino team is working on updating the toolchain, so this bug should get fixed when they do that.

Thank you very much. Worked by removing all strings stored in Flash.

@Neni
You are welcome 🙂

Hi again 😀
Finally got the shield but as expected i got some problems as always 😀

So first what works:
HID Keyboard
Wiimote with all 3 doogles (2 had some probs first but now its fine)

What doesnt work:
Wiiu Pro controller sync with 2 doogles (cheap 1? china doogles). My old Bluetooth doogle thats nearly broken works. The weird thing is: all 3 work for the wiimote, but the cheap once dont for the pro controller. But they DO work on my pc with software, all 3!

Okay so i got the controller synced with one doogle. Led is on, fine. But no button Press is recognized. I had no idea what to do, googled and noticed the controller disconnected. Pressed a key, reconnected and whoops! works O.o So i have to start the sketch, connect the controller, turn it off and on again. Any idea why that happens, and how to solve? I am using the 1.0.5 IDE and a MEGA 2560. It would be also nice to get the cheap doogles to work with the pro controller.

A general question: How does the sync work? Is something stored in eeprom or does each shield or doogle has a specific id to sync with? I dont want to overwrite that eeprom later.

Debug output for the working doogle:
http://pastebin.com/u31Spwrr

Debug output for the not working doogle:
http://pastebin.com/sKj0rbP1

Thx for ya help 🙂

@NicoHood
Unfortunately I don’t own a Pro U Controller, so I will have to wait until I can get my hands on one again.

The sync simply work by when you pair with the controller, the Wiimote/Pro Controller will store the Bluetooth address of your dongle inside it’s EEPROM and then it will try to connect to that Bluetooth address when you press on any button, so the Arduino’s EEPROM is actually not used at all.

@ lauszus:
oh, okay. I had no time to get my hands on that. I will try to seperate the wiimote and the controller if ive got time.

I also noticed that the motion control doesnt work for a normal wiimote. The value is always the same.

I am wondering how often you need to call the usb task, to keep the connection. Do you know that maybe? and how long does this operation take?

@NicoHood
My experience is that you need to call Usb.Task a lot more when you the Wiimote compared to for example the PS3 controller, as it looks like it will just stack up all measurements in a buffer, so it will end up being delayed, so basically you need to prevent using any delays in your code at all and instead use millis and micros and state-machine in order to keep calling Usb.Task.
The code itself does not take very long, but I haven’t actually measured it as it depends on how many drivers you have running at the same time.

Hi, If Wiimote without motion plus and not nunchuck connected, then Wii.getPitch() and Wii.getRoll() from Wii example are always 180º. With nunchuck connected, all right.
Is possible solution this problem? Thanks.

@Izco
Could you try to call getWiimotePitch() and getWiimoteRoll instead? Does it only happen when the Nunchuck is connected?

@Lauszus
The change produces the same result. The problem (always 180º roll and pitch) happen when the Nunchuck is not connected (only the first light of wiimote is ON) and wiimote is not motion plus (second light is OFF). If the Nunchuck is connected (first and third lights ON), then everything works fine.

@Izco
Hmm okay. I haven’t got the old Wiimote (borrowed it from a friend), so I can’t test it right now. Can you try another dongle? Or post your serial output when you connect to the controller? Please remember to enable serial debugging: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0#enable-debugging.

@Lauszus

Is there any possibility of having the wii balance board supported?
I have been trying to add support for a project but without success.
I have been successful paring with the wiimote but need similar capability with the balance board.
any help/advice would be greatly appreciated

@Daniel
I haven’t got access to one, so that is why I haven’t added support for it.

@Lauszus
Hmm, well would it be possible to hire you to add support +/- send you a balance board?
This is potentially the incorrect forum for such a discussion however I would love to get the balance board up and running and think that there would be others that would appreciate support for their projects. Let me know if this is possible
Thanks
Dan

@Daniel
Yes that is possible. Please contact me by my email: kristianl@tkjelectronics.com.

@NicoHood
Did you ever figure out the issue with the pro-controller not registering button presses until after a power cycle? I am having the same issue. Not a huge deal just a little annoying.
Thanks

No. I never had time to look into the code. I was more focused on USB Device rather than HOST mode. And since I got even more busy I think it wont ever have a chance to look into the code. Sorry.

@kodiakbear32
@NicoHood
@Izco
I believe I found the bug that was causing the issue. Please see: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/commit/9cb31799a8f14e5036ad35f06ff5502ba7dcc4b6.

Note that it is currently only in the WiiBalanceBoard branch: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/tree/WiiBalanceBoard, but should be merged into master shortly.

Great! Have not tested it but thanks for the note. I really have no time for USB-Host sadly.
Once ive finished with my HID-Project and HoodLoader2 I will present a simple Wiiu to USB adapter as ive done with the Gamecube controller.

But you could also built this yourself. Seems i’ve never posted my project here:
https://github.com/NicoHood/HID
https://github.com/NicoHood/HoodLoader2
https://nicohood.wordpress.com/2015/02/10/diy-gamecube-to-usb-pc-adapter-with-arduino/

@NicoHood
Okay should be pretty straightforward with your enchanted HID functionality! I will properly use it in the near future to emulate the Wii Balance Board.

Hello, I’m french.

Thank you for work and share.
I want connect a chinese wiimote (http://fr.eachbuyer.com/remote-and-nunchuk-controller-set-for-nintendo-wii-game-p3452.html) on my arduino UNO.

i use Wii.ino.
I put 1 button and 2 button together. Wiimote Blue leds flash.
I start the arduino.
In the Serie monitor i have : Wiimote Bluetooth Library Started
and that’s all.

I was test with 2 differents wiimote.

Can you help me?

My Bluetooth dongle (http://www.banggood.com/Wholesale-Super-Mini-Bluetooth-2_0-Adapter-Dongle-Vista-Compatible-p-29703.html) is connected to USB shield V2 (http://www.banggood.com/USB-Host-Shield-Compatible-Google-Android-ADK-Support-UNO-MEGA-p-90129.html)

Please enable serial debugging: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0#enable-debugging.

I have been trying for a while now but I’m not able to connect the wiimote to the arduino. I am using the example code, my usb dongle works (tried with a playstation controller and is the recommended one), my reset pin and pin 7 are connected and I do have external power (sparkfun shield). I am using the newest version of the library on github. It wont work for some reason though. I’ve tried both using the pair button and pressing both the 1 and 2 buttons simultaneously. A little confused here.

@Nickhil
Please enable serial debugging: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0#enable-debugging and post the output.

Hi, thanks for your work. I’m having trouble pairing my wiimote to the arduino, I’ve set ENABLE_UHS_DEBUGGING 1 but all I see in the serial monitor is “Wiimote Bluetooth Library Started” and nothing else. My setup is Arduino UNO + Arduino usb host shield + the recommended bt dongles (I have 2) + stock wiimote. I also have a Arduino MEGA to test with. I’ve tested the mouse example and it is working fine, but I can’t get my wiimote to work (or pair at all). Is there something else I gotta setup than just plugging the shield and dongle in and loading the sample program? Thanks a lot

@Mike
Please uncomment this line: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/BTD.cpp#L20 and post the output.

Hi Kristian,

Can you help me out here with the connection error ?

Thanks,

Andy.

(I’ve added some of my own debug lines too just in case some of the output isn’t what you’re expecting)

@AndyW
Please see: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/issues/169. Unfortunately you will just have to try another dongle.

@Kristian Sloth Lauszus

Thanks for the quick reply!

I’ve tried a couple of dongles, I guess I’ll have to try and source one from the list.

One thing which I was confused about though. It looks like the hci_connect() call which results in the failure state is passing a PIN value based upon the MAC address of the Wii Board. Looking at the Wiimote Wiki it mentions that if the sync button is pressed then the connect/pair attempt should be based upon the MAC address of the host.

“If connecting by holding down the 1+2 buttons, the PIN is the bluetooth address of the wiimote backwards, if connecting by pressing the “sync” button on the back of the wiimote, then the PIN is the bluetooth address of the host backwards.” *

Is the Wii board different in this regard or have I just got the wrong end of the stick (I’m not a Bluetooth protocol guru by any means).

Thanks,

Andy.

@AndyW
The code already takes care of that at this line: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/pull/146/files#diff-952d93897a06c93ad61757d05b7ef038R829.

@Kristian Sloth Lauszus

I can report back that the Trendnet TBW-107UB dongle (as listed on the compatible dongle list) does indeed work 🙂

w00t!

@AndyW
Awesome 🙂

Hi

I was using the library, but my wiimote wouldn’t pair with this, so I tried enabling serial debugging as suggested here, but now the Arduino IDE displays an error message saying that the program is too large. My board is an Arduino Uno R3. Is there any way to fix this?

@Dan
You can set this to 0: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/75eaa349f8bbeb34f427f4c1f5024e6a35b11b0c/Wii.cpp#L498 in order to decrease the size of the library.

@Kristian Sloth Lauszus
Thanks for the quick reply! That fixed it and it works now. (sorry if I sent the message twice but I wasn’t sure if it sent the first time).

@Dan
You’re welcome 🙂

No problem. We have to accept the first comment in order to prevent spam messages.

Hi Kristian,
I hope you can help me with this problem

I’ve connected wiimote to my Arduino Mega 2560 and give following debug

…
Remote Name: Nintendo RVL-CNT-01
Wiimote is connecting
Connecting to Wiimote
Connection established
Connected to Wiimote
Received Key Request
Pairing with Wiimote
Pairing successful with Wiimote
Send HID Control Connection Request

That’s all, and didn’t give another feedback. How to fix this? What’s my next step?
Thank you..

I’m sorry I haven’t read previous comment at 1st page which has same problem.

@Tony
So does this mean that you solved the issue?
