Wiimote controls Airsoft Gun over Internet

6

 

If you are into automated weapons of medium destruction and automation here is a cool hack you are sure to enjoy. It uses an ioBridge to allow a Wiimote to control a remote airsoft gun. Since there is a camera on the contraption you are able to hunt from anywhere in the world (as long as you have a high speed internet connection). 🙂

"Building from my previous creation I connected my wiimote to a servo via some python and my ioBridge 204 module, only this time I replaced the coilgun with a remotely triggered airsoft gun! Now there are no more issues with reloading a weapons system half a world a way after each shot!"

Thanks for the tip Hans.

  1. Controlling something over web doesn’t impress anymore. The PC is the real controller there, not the Wiimote. This is like creating a web interface and saying “yay, I’m controlling it with my uber-kool iphone”.
    Still, the contruction is really good, and I really like airsoft turrets.
    What construction set did you use? Is that fischertechnik?(sorry I don’t have sound output right now)


  2. Hi,

    I used this construction set when I was a little kid, it’s called Construx and it was made by Fisher Price!

  4. Hi Bert,
    Great project! What software did you say you used to capture the Wiimote movements?
    Cheers

    blog is related to mine and I think we’d both benefit from a link exchange to drive visitors to our sites.
