## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA4836:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA4836:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Dig out that old Wii controller and use it as a sleek controller for your next robot if you like. The Adafruit Adafruit Wii Nunchuck Breakout Adapter fits snugly into the Wii connector, and performs the level shifting and power regulation needed to use the controller with any microcontroller or microcomputer.

The Wii controllers use a standard I2C interface, and [there's existing code for both Arduino](https://github.com/madhephaestus/WiiChuck) and [CircuitPython/Python for quick integration](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Nunchuk) with an Arduino UNO, Feather, or even a Raspberry Pi. Adafruit like to use these with the Wii Nunchuck, as you can get an X-Y joystick, two buttons and an accelerometer all in one hand-held package. All data is transmitted over I2C address 0x53, and the address can not be changed.

**Adafruit use extra thicc 2.0mm PCBs for this breakout, and made cut-outs for the grabber-notches, so that the controller connection is snug, and wont rattle or come loose!**

To make using it as easy as possible, we’ve created this breakout in [Stemma QT form factor](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=stemma+qt). You can either use a breadboard or the[ **SparkFun qwiic**](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=qwiic) compatible [**STEMMA QT**](https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-adafruit-stemma-qt) connectors, and compatibility with 5V voltage levels as commonly found on [Arduinos](https://core-electronics.com.au/#), as well as 3.3V logic used by many other boards like the Raspberry Pi or Adafruit's Feathers. [**QT Cable is not included**, but Adafruit have a variety in the shop](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=stemma+qt) for quick plug-and-play support.

[Doesn't come with the Wii Nunchuck controller, that's sold separately](https://core-electronics.com.au/wii-controller-nunchuck-wiichuck.html) (or just look in that plastic bin in your parent's attic next time you visit).
