i-too Hammer Controller

The i-too’s motion sensors are not all that accurate, and the directional stick on top doesn’t seem to work. But if you want to incorporate motion sensing into your PC games without all the hassle of connecting a Wiimote, than the i-too is a cheap option. It claims to have 6 axes of control, but the data I got back from most of the sensors was unusable. So the features I implemented in this class are horizontal tilt, vertical tilt, acceleration (y axes), flick motion, and the three buttons.

Tilt the controller to move the target. Moving the controller up and down causes the red bar on the left side of the screen to change length and direction (acceleration). Flicking the controller will cause a sound to play. The flick motion can be best described as air drumming. The top button plays a drum roll and the other buttons select the sound to play when the controller is flicked.
