university of natural healing inc dehydrator movie trailer voiceover licensed wedding venues london nitmik videos I'll second 84.144.102.151's suggestion that this page be locked from anonymous edits. -- inio 01:09, 21 December 2006 (CST)
After undoing 2 spam-edits I second the suggestion too. FrozenCow
This idea gives me the creeps. If the english wiki would lock every page for a simple spam/vandalism like that one, everything would be blocked in a few days. I believe this is definetly too drastic: there's been only a few edits in total. Please consider unlocking.

List of things not yet complete
Purpose of Output report: 0x10
Section Reading and writing: Some kind of acknowledgement is received on Input Report 0x22. This has not been investigated yet.
Use of bit 7 of the first byte of button information.
How power button works
How accelerometer LSB's are encoded into button information.
The IR camera configuration data is definitely not fully understood.
More information on the peripheral encryption could be interesting.
Note: This is very likely not intended to be an encryption, but more likely a means of reducing bit transitions over busses to conserve power. Bus Encodng for Low Power
Meaning of first bit of status report flags.
A few comments:
The placement of the LSB's in the button information implies that the accelerometers have 9-bit output.
That seems a bit strange. Why nine bits rather than 8 bits or 10 bits?
What is with the two enable bits for the IR Camera? That seems odd.
Why is the peripheral data encrypted but the main data not?
Wiimote on XP thuru WM_INPUT message
I played a bit with a Wiimote using WM_INPUT messages and I want to post the results so other people don't waste their time on this.
The Wiimote is correctly enumerated as a source of WM_INPUT messages and can be registered as a WM_INPUT producer. Vendor and product id are enumerated correctly (0x57e and 0x306 respectively).
For simple applications, this may be enough. The wiimote reports 22 bytes foreach packet, which looks like an extended 0x33 mode but I'm not sure.
0] 33 1] 0 2] 20 3] 81 4] 68 5] 82 6] ff 7] ff
8] ff 9] ff 10] ff 11] ff 12] ff 13] ff 14] ff 15] ff
16] ff 17] ff 18] 0 19] 0 20] 0 21] 0
Byte0 is always 0x33 (uncluckly, this doesn't seem to be mode 0x33)
Byte1,2 are the core buttons exactly like described in the wiki.
Byte3,4,5 are accelerometer data matching the wiki.
Byte6,7,8,9 and byte10,11,12,13 have been tested to be IR objects. I haven't checked out the layout but I predict to match the wiki as well.
Byte14,15,16,17 and byte 18,19,20,21 seems to be the other 2 IR object but I can't say for sure. (assuming my observations are correct this makes for 16 IR bytes so it can't be mode 0x33 - win32 is mangling this data in some way)
.
As said, it seems rather nice for simple applications. Unluckly, once the nunchuk is connected the remote will stop reporting continuously. It will only report when a wiimote button is pressed and only partially. Even disconnecting and re-handshaking with the BT stack won't work.
Unluckly, this is a fatal issue so don't waste your time on WM_INPUT!

Extension controller identification
"Checking one byte might suffice, as currently they just seem to be mirrors of one another. However, future attachments might use both, so it is advisable to check both."
This is apparently not true, since the Guitar Hero ID is 0x0103, but the article is locked for some reason so I can't fix it. 142.59.172.116 10:57, 27 February 2008 (PST)

Auto-Syncronization
Is anyone currently working the wiimote libraries to remove the sync on start up requirement? It will get old having to sync wiimotes everytime you go into homebrew that uses one (or more) wiimotes. Seems like if you saved sync information to a sys file you could just have all homebrew auto-sync wiimotes using that same file. (Assuming the same wiimote library is used across homebrew). Also, it would make sense to have the sync button on the wii (Or some other combo of buttons) put the wiimote back into sync mode incase it needs to be resynced for any reason (regenerating the sync sys file). beardface 15:56, 3 May 2008 (CST)
Firmware/hardware reverse-engineering
Here is the information about firmware/hardware reverse-engineering of the Wiimote.
All addresses in hexadecimal.
Link map

I believe the link map is much more complex. Also perhaps some 8051 code is not stored in the EEPROM. For example, there are ljmp to address e0f7, e0ee, etc at location 8407.
Bluetooth HID descriptor block is at EEPROM address 18f7 (more or less).

On-board EEPROM hardware
EEPROM is TSSOP8 chip ST M24128 or equivalent type (128Kbit).
This is an I2C memory with a Write Control input (WC#) that allows protecting the entire contents of the memory against unwanted writes. When WC#=1, memory cannot be written (read-only), when WC#=0, memory can be read or written.
The WC# pin is pulled up by a 0402 10K resistor (R38) located nearby. WC# must also be connected to the Broadcom chip because the contents of the EEPROM are modified by some Bluetooth commands. Anyway the pin tied to WC# on the Broadcom chip is an open-collector output, which means that WC# can safely be forced to ground externally (through the test point) to enable temporary EEPROM memory writes.
Location of test points:
SCL Test point TP102 SDA Test point TP101 WC# Test point TP01
Questions
- Is there a CRC in the EEPROM firmware?
- Where is the entry point of the firmware? Is there one actually?
- How does 8051 core communicate with the Bluetooth stack?

Single-press reconnection?
Connection to the Wiimote using the 1+2 sync sequence works sometimes, and single-press reconnection is understood.
I'm really happy it's understood. Is it documented anywhere? Violet 02:11, 23 July 2008 (CEST)
