Re: Drive Control Systems: SOAD and Wii
Have you tried using an actual Wii controller?

Oh and whats the accuracy on you accelerometers? I've been messing with using an actual Wiimote and I've noticed that the values constantly change, even when I'm not moving.

No, is it just a USB connection?

I have not inspected closely the values, but from a driver standpoint, it seems to be fairly consistent. We had it driving for over 5 minutes, and at the end, I don't remember any odd behavior (except for the movement getting a little weaker, but the robot we are using drains the battery after about 3 minutes when all systems are on)
