The first time I came across a Nunchuk is when I started making my Blueboy balancing robot. Techknowtone (U.K.) used this to control his robot which I thought was cool because it allowed one hand operation of the joystick, instead of two hands.
The Techknowtone version kept the "smarts" inside which converted the joystick to I2C signals which were then converted by software into radio signals to send out to the remote device. I had a version like that but it was "kludgy" since more electronics had to be added to a box that connected to the Nunchuk via a cable. There had to be a better way. Without a cable.
I gutted the Nunchuk and put in a small Pro Micro MCU with battery and HC12 radio device. That's it! A wireless remote control in a one handed container. It's universal, so can be used with virtually any system that employs and HC12 module.
