xwiishow - Test connected Wii Remote devices
xwiishow [-h]
xwiishow list
xwiishow <num>
xwiishow /sys/bus/hid/devices/<device>
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.
$ xwiishow list

<ncurses based interface>
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.
