Standard Controller (WPAD) Sample Demos

Location

$REVOLUTION_SDK_ROOT/build/demos/wpaddemo

Compilation

Go to the directory $REVOLUTION_SDK_ROOT/build/demos/wpaddemo and type make. An executable (*.elf) file will be generated under the path $REVOLUTION_SDK_ROOT/RVL/bin/demos/wpaddemo/.

Execution

Move to the $REVOLUTION_SDK_ROOT/RVL/bin/demos/wpaddemo/ directory and perform the following steps:

To simply execute the application, run the ndrun script using the .elf file as the argument.
To debug using CodeWarrior, do one of the following.

Run $CWFOLDER/bin/IDE.exe with the .elf file as an argument.
Launch $CWFOLDER/bin/IDE.exe, then drag and drop the .elf file.
If the .elf file is associated with $CWFOLDER/bin/IDE.exe, double-click the .elf file

Description

wpadsample

This sample executes basic controller processes (connect/disconnect, allow/disallow connection, vibration, memory read/write, hotswapping of external controllers, and so on) and displays controller information for the Wii Remote (buttons, acceleration, pointer, distance from the TV, and so on). Without inserting an external extended controller, a process for virtually changing the device type is available only in the debug version.

Using the Demo:
Operate using the Nintendo GameCube Controller connected to 1P.

+Control Pad	Moves the cursor in the operation menu located in the lower right of the screen.
A Button	Runs or stops the operation selected in the operation menu.
B Button	Sets whether to allow/deny connections for Wii Remotes that have already been registered.
Z Button	Starts or stops simple pairing.

Controls Menu:

Rumble	Periodically vibrates the Wii Remote at the specified channel.
Info	Gets information from the specified channel (indicators, remaining battery life, and so on).
Disconnect	Disconnects the Wii Remote at the specified channel.
ACC	Enables or disables the Motion Sensor at the specified channel.
DPD	Starts or stops the Pointer at the specified channel.
DPD_FULL	Starts or stops the Pointer at the specified channel, in Full mode.
ExtGimmick	Operates or stops any special mechanisms in the external extension controller attached to the Wii Remote at the specified channel.
Read mem	Reads data from the memory of the Wii Remote at the specified channel.
Write mem	Writes data to the memory of the Wii Remote at the specified channel.
Dummy Ext	Simulates the insertion or removal of a device that returns `WPAD_DEV_FUTURE` at the specified channel.

wpad_axdemo

Outputs audio data processed by AX from the Wii Remote speaker.

Using the Demo:

+Control Pad, A Button, B Button, 1 Button, 2 Button	Plays the sounds assigned to each of these buttons.
+Button	Mutes output from the speaker.
- Button	Cancels mute.
HOME	Stops currently playing sounds.

wpad_seqdemo

Uses SEQ to play MIDI data through the Wii Remote speaker.

Using the Demo:

A Button

Starts or stops sound playback.

wpad_spdemo

Uses SP to play SE (sound effects) from the Wii Remote speaker.

Using the Demo:

A Button

Plays back the sound.

memory

Reads and writes data to the internal memory of the Wii Remote. This demo does not display anything to the TV screen; it only performs serial output.

Using the Demo:

A Button		Writes data to the Wii Remote memory. Writes data with a different value for each channel. To confirm that the data was written properly, reads the data back out after writing it.
B Button		Reads data in the Wii Remote memory. After reading, the data that was read is compared to the data used during the writes to each channel, then the name of the application that performed the write and the date and time of the write are displayed.

sync

Performs both normal and simple pairing.

Using the Demo:
Operate using the Nintendo GameCube Controller connected to 1P.

A Button	Starts normal pairing.
B Button	Deletes all registration information.
X Button	Starts simple pairing.
Y Button	Stops simple pairing.
L Button	Starts normal pairing (high speed version).
R Button	Starts simple pairing (high speed version).

dummy_checker

Simulates change of the device type of the Wii Remote connected to 1P without actually plugging in an external extension controller. Because only a debug version of this function has been prepared, only this version works.

Using the Demo:
Operate using the Nintendo GameCube Controller connected to 1P.

A Button	Simulates insertion of a device that returns `WPAD_DEV_FUTURE`.
B Button	Simulates device removal.
X Button	Simulates insertion of a device that returns `WPAD_DEV_NOT_SUPPORTED`.
