Balance board

[moosepr]

Hi there

I have been looking for a way to Use a Wii balance board as a set of scales and came across your library

The board apparently appears as a wiimote, with the extra data being off in an extra register

The biggest issue I have is that the balance board doesn't have the 1 and 2 buttons for the pairing

do you have any experience with the balance board?

Thanks

Pete

Hello Pete, my experience with bluetooth is insufficient in many ways to solve problems like this. So a few months ago I decided to cancel my balance board project (based on the wii balance board and esp32 with bluetooth), so I decided to make my own balance board based on an arduino pro micro and four HX711 load cell amplifier/ADC. This makes my life a bit easier althoug the project isn't completed yet. I also realised that bluetooth or any other wireless protocol could be causing major problem regarding reliability, something to think of regarding the fact that my project requires the use of two balance boards and will be used at crowded areas. Although the latter is a different problem considering the covid19 situation. But thanks for your reply, kind regards, Jan

Hi Pete,
I guess you cannot use the one-time sync, but need to pair the balance board by pressing its sync button in the battery compartment.
Cheers,

I would also like to connect my Balance Board with ESP32, but do not know how to access the data. Has there been some progress with this?

@JabberwockPL
I am also researching about this, and found this the other day.

I have not been able tested this myself yet, please share if you have any findings.
