NAME

       xwiishow - Test connected Wii Remote devices

SYNOPSIS

       xwiishow [-h]
       xwiishow list
       xwiishow <num>
       xwiishow /sys/bus/hid/devices/<device>

DESCRIPTION

       The  xwiishow tool, when called without arguments, shows a short usage information. If the list parameter
       is given, it lists all connected Wii Remotes. Each connected Wii Remote is given a number.  If  you  pass
       this  number  to  xwiishow  then this device is opened and the UI shows a graphical representation of the
       device. Instead of passing this number you can also pass an absolute path to the device-root in the sysfs
       directory.

       In the ncurses-based interface you can press 'q' to quit the application, 'r' to toggle the rumble  motor
       and  'a'  to  toggle  the  accelerometer.  See  the  xwiishow  help text for a more comprehensive list of
       shortcuts.

EXAMPLES

       $ xwiishow list

       No device path given. Listing devices:
         Found device: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb3/3-2/3-2:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:11/0005:057E:0306.0001
       End of device list

       $                                                                                                xwiishow
       /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb3/3-2/3-2:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:11/0005:057E:0306.0001
       <ncurses based interface>

BUGS

       This tool is quite incomplete. It does not support all interfaces that are provided by the wiimote kernel
       driver. However, it provides enough functionality to test whether a Wii Remote is detected properly.

       The  tool  reads  the  input  devices  directly  so you might need root rights to properly access the Wii
       Remote.
