We go through how to get the inputs from the Wii remote, Wii Fit balance board and the iPhone

Mick shows how the hardware hack is done. Don't worry, we'll get to the fun stuff soon...

This first episode of Hardcode is a preview of our first project: Hacking a remote controlled car to allow us to control it with a wii controller, a wii fit balance board and the touch screen of an iPhone. In the coming episodes we will show you how to do this yourself with a very small hardware hack, an Arduino board and a bit of programming.
