  1. Where did you get the version of the wiichuck library?  I downloaded one version, WiiChuck-0.3.2 from github, but I don’t know how different it is from your version.  I’m about to build out this!  Thanks

    • I think I got it from this page a long time ago https://playground.arduino.cc/Main/WiiChuckClass. It looks like WiiChuck-0.3.2 is compatible with more controllers, and the naming scheme is different. For example, readJoyY() is getJoyY() on WiiChuck-0.3.2.
