can anyone tell me what the raw wiimote data is in terms of resolution (how many bits?) and sampling rate (in HZ?) through OSCulator prior to OSC/MIDI etc. conversions?
The X axis of the accelerometers has a precision of 10 bits, Y and Z, 9 bits.
For the nunchuck the accelerometers have a precision of 8 bits in OSCulator 2.8.8, but they will have 10 bits in the next version.
The rate of data reporting is roughly equal to 100 hz. The events are not down-sampled in OSCulator, that means Wiimote messages are received and processed in the application at the same rate as they are sent by the device.
Well, this really depends on the various driver implementations, most of them are only 8 bits. I've made sure we can squeeze the last bits of data given by the sensors.
If you want in depth technical information, you can visit wiibrew.org, this is mostly where I get information on the Wiimote and its accessories.
I have not documented the characteristics of the Wiimote on the website though I think it could be a good idea.
