Wii Remote hacking on Linux--now with snakes!

Cwiid is a library that can be used to connect a wii remote to any bluetooth-enabled Linux machine. Hmm.... Interesting.

After much deliberation and searching on the internets, I found that Cwiid happens to have a library for my favourite language: Python, do I immediately had to hack around with it.

Using the Cwiid library, I've managed to record data from the accelerometers. After seeing this on the Internet, and reading about a winodws/wiimote-based accelerometer for automotive use, I figured I could do this easier and better... of course with the intention of using the wii remote for physics experiements and demonstrations...
