Wiimote + Arduino + iBook + leds = YAY!

Tonight I finally got all my favorite technologies talking to one another and now when i wave my wiiMote about in the air, little lights in my room get brighter or dimmer (and when I work out how to multiplex the serial signals you’ll be able to change which lights are on so change the colour!).

When I get a chance I’ll write it up.

    I need someone willing to climb a ladder positioned in my bathtub to reach the light fitting *and* sign a release form absolving me of all liability.
