The Latest Exploration of Wiimote-Based Control

Abstract

Based on point positioning and motion sensing capabilities of wiimote, the present study used bluetooth and wireless communication device as an information channel of wiimote-controlled intelligent vehicle to send the control commands according to the wiimote pointed position. And then the motor drive was controlled by MC33886 chips and PID algorithm. Ultimately, the synchronous induction of intelligent vehicle with human pointing movements was achieved. In the meantime, a wireless video was facilitated in the intelligent vehicle to achieve realtime monitoring of the vehicle. This paper provided the hardware and software design of the control system and described with flow charts. The tests results showed that the interactive remote control of intelligent vehicle can be achieved by using a wiimote control handle.
