Wiimote gyro not working

Post by Bluedeath »

I cannot make freepie to read the gyros of my wiimote (tried an original one; the same with the wiimote plus and compatible one) i can read all the values excet the gyros and the wiimoteplus.
Am i doing something wrong?
Any help would be apreciated.

The original Wiimote didn't have a gyro. The newer Wiimote Plus did, but I'm not sure how to read that in FreePIE.

Can you check if it works without a nunchuck pljgged in? I am have a wiimote with built in motion plus and I can read the gyro only if I unplug the nunchuck.

First of all thanks to both of you. I just tried with both motionplus and nunchuk. I'll try with just the motion plus.
I made a mistake when i formulated the question. I need to read pitch roll and yaw (my mistake was thinking that the data was read from a gyro).
When i try to read the wiimote ahrs the returned vaue is always zero.
