Liverpool LUG Talk

with 3 comments

So, I finally got round to giving a talk at LivLUG, anyone who knows me will know i’m not the best public speaker in the world and I get quite nervous at the thought. It was time to grab the bull by the horns and actually do it!

My first talk was on the usage of the Wiimote within Linux, The Wiimote are very simple Bluetooth devices that can be accessed over the standard APIs with an additional library called CWiid. This allows the device to be used as a input device or as a general I/O device.

It’s quite hard to explain it in just text alone, So i’ve put my presentation on the LivLUG wiki everyone to have a look at. I recommend you grab it and give it a try yourself.

EDIT: Yes, It’s on the wiki now, but heres the direct link.

  1. This may seem a little odd but I’m unable to find your presentation on the Liverpool LUG wiki. Is there any chance that you could provide a direct link to it?

    The wiimote’s use in GNU/Linux greatly interests me - I bought a bluetooth adapter so as to use it with my notebook.

    On an unrelated note I believe your OpenID support is broken so I had to remove my website from the form to submit this.

  2. Howdy Andrew,

    I got wind of your presentation from dantheman on twitter. Would be great to have a gander at it - couldn’t locate it on the wiki unfortunately. Am I being daft?

    Thanks!
