i like the possibility to use a mouse for precise aiming in PS4 games, but i don’t like to play games with the keybord (Here is my GIMX-Setup https://gimx.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2556).
So i built my Motion-Controller from a Wii Nunchuck. Now I want to share my idea with you.
The Components:
1) Nintendo Wii Nunchuck or Clone
- analog Joystick
- 2 buttons
- 3-axis accelerometer
2) SNES Classic Controller/Nunchuck Extension Cable
- used only the socket side
3) ATmega32u4-Board (Pro Micro 5V 16MHz)
- since the nunchuck works with 3V, a I2C level converter with integrated dc-dc-converter was used
- a piece of software to convert the I2C data to USB-HID
4) micro USB cable
In this setup the Wii Nunchuck works like a normal Joystick with Windows and Linux (no special drivers necessary).
There are 2 axes from the Joystick and 2 axes from the accelerometer (pitch and roll). Also there are 2 physical buttons and 6 „buttons“ generated from the accelerometer (swing the nunchuck in 6 directions).
It's really fun and a more dynamic gameplay, for example, to push the fist with the Nunchuck to the front to do a glory kill in doom, or swing the nunchuck up or down to jump or crouch. The roll-axis can be used for steering, or pitch and roll for flying. There are many possibilities.
