Wii Nunchuk controlled neopixels and robot arm - Arduino meets Nintendo meets 3D printing!

Wii Nunchuks are very cheap, as is the adaptor needed to connect them to an Arduino. Under $10 for both! They are a great option for your next robotics project.

In this video, I take you step by step through how to interface a Wii controller with an Arduino Uno, to control Adafruit Neopixels and then a 3D printed robotic arm.

I’d like to thank the authors of the Arduino Nunchuk library and EEZBOTarm for their awesome creations. I found this project really fun to put together and the arm is great to play with. I have a few of them printed and constructed, maybe I should turn them against each other?
