A bit more advanced and direct way to talk to a microcontroller is by using the RS232 (Devices).

• DC Motors: the most simple ones: give it voltage, it will start to spin
• Stepper Motors: more precise ones, in most cases an external hardware driver is required in order to control them easily
• Servo Motors: a complex things from inside, they know their position. Can be controlled via simple PWM signal

Usually a motor (or its driver) is controlled by a microcontroller (eg. Arduino).

The pack was contributed by tonfilm, commissioned by Marshmallow Laser Feast and supported by many members of the community.

The WiiMote (Devices) is contributed by velcrome and is coming with the addonpack.

Note, there are at least 3 types of the WiiMote out there:
(The code can be found on the battery compartment)

• the classic WiiMote with no MotionPlus, this works with vvvv
• the new WiiMote with builtin MotionPlus, code is LMB-RVL-WR/M-C0 (and C2) works with vvvv, but no MotionPlus, if you need MotionPlus use GlovePIE, fully working there
• the latest WiiMote with builtin MotionPlus, code is LMB-RVL-WR/Z-C4 (and C6) does not connect with vvvv, with GlovePIE you get partial data, connectivity is buggy, it has a reset button on the plastic battery cover so that it can be reset without removing the cover.
