@Peter,
I have tried to use the WII support commands as good as I can, but I am stumbling upon a behaviour I think is a bug.
When using a WII OPEN command, and there is no WII classic connected, it errors.
And when doing a WII CLOSE, the message is that there is no WII channel open. So the error closes the WII support in MMBasic.
Also when there is a WII NUNCHUCK connected, the WII OPEN command errors.
And when doing a WII CLOSE the message is that there is no WII channel open. Reading the ERRMESG$, the driver has detected a NUNCHUCK, but the channel is closed.
In this case I can WII NUNCHUCK OPEN, to enable support for the NUNCHUCK.
Up to here it all works. However....
The WII NUNCHUCK channel is not opened.
When I do a DEVICE(WII NUNCHUCK T) to read the type the error presented is:
Print "type =";Hex$(DEVICE(wii nunchuck T))
Error : Not open
Error : Not open
I have tried adding delays, to make sure there is sufficient time between closing the WII and opening the WII NUNCHUCK, but that does not help.
Please find attached a minimal demo program.
connect a nunchuck to system i2c
'opens classic wii
on error skip 1
WII OPEN
? MM.ERRMSG$
'no classic, then open
WII NUNCHUCK OPEN
? hex$(DEVICE(WII NUNCHUCK T))
on error skip 1
WII OPEN
? MM.ERRMSG$
'no classic, then open
WII NUNCHUCK OPEN
? hex$(DEVICE(WII NUNCHUCK T))
The strange thing is, that when you do the reverse (connect a classic, open a nunchuck channel first) it does work as planned.
connect a classic wii controller
'opens nunchuck wii
on error skip 1
WII NUNCHUCK OPEN
? MM.ERRMSG$
'no nunchuck, then open a classic
WII OPEN
? hex$(DEVICE(WII T))
on error skip 1
WII NUNCHUCK OPEN
? MM.ERRMSG$
'no nunchuck, then open a classic
WII OPEN
? hex$(DEVICE(WII T))
Please comment if I am doing something wrong, or if this is a bug.
Note that I cannot use method 2 (that works) due to the error message. When opening a nunchuck with classic attached, the error message is "this is not a nunchuck", but it does not say that it is a classic (negative message, it is not xxx, but what is it ?). When opening a classic with nunchuck attached the error message is "a nunchuck is attached", this is the positive message, so I can immediately open the right thing.
