Intro

This project started as a part of Makers Making Change Access Makeathon, an initiative of the Neil Squire Society. The goal is to help Timothy, a 10 year-old boy with ataxia, play his favourite games on Wii console. This project involves modifying a standard Nintendo Wii Remote and Nunchuk by replacing the buttons and joystick with larger versions and positioning them in a more ergonomic arrangement. The factory PCBs from the controllers are retained and new inputs wired to them. The code is executed using a Raspberry Pi Zero with Raspbian.
