nunchuck Mod

[sharp141]

why do you want a light on your remote?
unless you play it all night, 24-7,
then ill understand

damn that is pretty cool, but some one says it is really risky to do thou

Cool looking but I wouldn't want to play games in the dark with that thing.

Why not?

It's distracting to play games in the dark with a bright light on your controller. Have someone shine a flashlight in your eyes while your playing a game to see what I'm talking about.

Looks incredible!! im in love! too risky to do it on my own though :/

it just looks cool
i would really like to try to do that to my nunchuck but there is no way im going to risk it

obviously the battery life would go down a lot, you will need rechargeable batteries

Actually, all it is is an LED soldered into the circuit board of the nunchuck. LEDs have a practically infinite battery life.

I didn't make it, but it is the one I followed for my Nunchuck LED mod.

Theres also some other cool wiimote mods available there.

Depending what kind of resistor you use (if any), you will get a different battery life. Without a resistor it does drain the batteries faster, but not dramatically.

Well you need expirience.. So it's kinda hard

Its just basic soldering skills, not hard.
If you have a soldering iron, you can practice on old motherboards (I get mine from non working electronics such as a stereo system).

Sorry, I am used to another forum I visit, that if you double post within 10min it will automatically merge the posts as one.
And this forum is missing the multiple quotes per reply option.

For all of you who are wondering how to do this, here's a video tutorial: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CGrXZ5ltrxw

It's all in French (I think), but it's pretty easy to understand visually.
