Wii Extensions
Purpose: This add-on is intended to allow you to use various Wii controllers (e.g. Nunchuck, Classic Wii Controller, Guitar, Drums, Turntable, and Taiko) with GP2040-CE to be used with GP2040-CE supported systems.
The Wii Extensions add-on is not meant to work with Wii consoles.
Web Configurator Options
The SDA and SCL pins for I2C and speed are now configured in Configuration > Peripheral Mapping - I2C.
I2C Block- The block of I2C to use (i2c0 or i2c1).
Controller Specific Options
- Nunchuck
- Classic
- Guitar
- Drums
- Turntable
- Taiko
- Classic Controller support includes Classic, Classic Pro, and NES/SNES Mini Controllers.
- Original Classic Controller L & R triggers are analog sensitive, where Pro triggers are not.
Due to an accessory hardware issue, Drum & DJ turntable controllers may require hot-swapping from a Nunchuk or Classic controller before being usable.
Each of the options above uses the following GP2040 input labels for input mapping from controller to GP2040-CE.
