Key point
A Wiimote remapper for Linux called `esperto-wiimote` has been released.
Details
Built on the esperto input system, esperto-wiimote is a tool for precisely mapping the Wiimote on Linux.
- It supports accelerometer calibration and IR tracking, including a ported version of Hector Martin's 2-point IR tracking algorithm.
- It supports complex key combos and multiple output slots, allowing mouse, keyboard, and joystick input to be separated.
- Since it's built on
evdev/uinput, it has near-zero latency, with the main latency occurring at the kernel API. - Using it requires a modified Wiimote kernel driver, which is provided via
crates.io. - The configuration file allows fine-grained control over running commands on connect/disconnect, sensor bar size, smoothing, axis centering/parking, accelerometer calibration values, and more.
- A separate calibration tool performs 6-sided calibration of the Wiimote, with results reflected in the configuration.
