While the Wiimote is programmed to follow the ‘Bluetooth HID’ protocol to be identified as an input device, it doesn’t comply with the standard method of exchanging data (possibly to disallow being used on non-Wii systems).
The remote is powered by Broadcom’s BCM2042, a chip that includes all the necessary circuitry to become an independent Bluetooth device (CPU, RAM, ROM and, of course, a Bluetooth module). The bar contains two sets of infrared LEDs which the camera can sense, the Wii uses triangulation to calculate the position of the Wiimote from the TV. This sensor requires the Sensor Bar (included with the console).Finally, it includes an infrared camera that, combined with the accelerometer and some Wii processing, can be used to point at the screen.It also contains an accelerometer to detect orientation changes, this is the main component used to achieve motion sensing.For starters, it has a set of physical buttons which are used like any conventional controller.The main device is no other than the Wii Remote (also called ‘Wiimote’), a gadget with a similar shape of a TV remote that contains many types of input controls: Let’s start by discussing one of the most iconic aspects of this console: The controllers. Quick Note: Some sections overlap part of the previous article about the GameCube, so instead of repeating the information I will just put a link to the respective part of the article. Here we will analyse every aspect of this console, from its already-familiar hardware to its overlooked security system, including its major flaws. Important data buses are labelled with their width and speed.Įven though the Wii lacked the state of art graphics its competitors enjoyed, new types of control and innovative software gave this console new areas to brag about. Motherboard with important parts labelled Diagram Main architecture diagram Showing revision 'RVL-CPU-40', earlier revisions had a significantly larger fabrication process and later ones removed most of the Gamecube's I/O. The profits contribute towards the improvement of current articles and the development of future ones.įor more information, please take a look at here.
