New from Dexter Industries: NXTChuck

I am sure you’ve seen the pictures of the Wii Nunchucks attached to the NXT before on the Internet.  However, they either required a very specific Nunchuck to be used or some modifications on the device itself.  Dexter Industries, together with Matthew Richardson have come up with a great new Wii Adapter for LEGO MINDSTORMS, the NXTChuck.  With this sensor you can easily attach a Nunchuck to your NXT, without needing to do any kind of soldering at all!  Best of all, it works with quite a number of Nunchucks, not just the ones made by Nintendo.

I’ve had one of these for a little while, unfortunately I have not had a chance to finish the driver just yet, but rest assured, I am working on it.   As some of my readers pointed out, they had spotted it in a post I made earlier, despite my attempt to hide it under a Post-It.  The sensor was not visible but the Nunchuck was.  Congratulations to Matt for creating his first commercially available NXT sensor! Nice job.  Kudos to DI for manufacturing it!
