Summary
Jacek Fedoryński has developed an open source Windows app that transforms a Wii Balance Board into a Bluetooth game controller. The app allows players to use their body movements to control game actions via the board's analog inputs. It requires an initial pairing step with a utility but then reconnects automatically. The project, released under the MIT license, leverages tools from the HID Router project to integrate with other controllers. The app is detailed on GitHub.
