The nunchuk protocol decoder supports the Nintendo Wii Nunchuk protocol.

Hardware

Wii Nunchuk via Buspirate v4

The i2c/wii_nunchuk directory in sigrok-dumps contains a set of example captures of I2C traffic from/to a Nintendo Wii Nunchuk game controller.

The logic analyzer used was a Saleae Logic (at 1MHz). It is probing the Wii Nunchuk that is connected to a Dangerous Prototypes Buspirate (v4) that is used as I²C master to talk to the Nunchuk controller.

Probe setup:

Probe I²C pin
3 (red) SCL
7 (blue) SDA

Protocol

The protocol is layered on top of I²C. See wiibrew.org for a detailed description of the commands and registers.
