# Wiitar

Guide + Code for a wii guitar to USB adapter.

This uses a Digispark USB with a special wii guitar lib that works with TinyWireM.

Inspired by [WiiHero](https://github.com/jkctech/WiiHero)

## How to use

Requirements:

- Wii-compatible Guitar Hero Guitar

- Digispark USB

- Wii Nunchuk Adapter Module

- Usb Extension Cable

- A Breadboard or a soldering PCB

### Step 1.

Solder your Digispark and Nunchuk module to your PCB or connect them via your Breadboard.

### Step 2.

Connect your Digispark USB to your PC and flash Wiitar.ino to it.

### Step 3.

Connect the nunchuk module to your nunchuk and attach the USB Extension cord.

### (Optional) Step 4.

Configure your buttons via Clone Hero.

## Why use this?

It's a way cheaper approach than buying a pre-built adapter if you're not afraid to get your hands dirty.

A RaphNet adapter is $30.

This project costs

- Digispark USB: $1

- Wii Nunchuk module: $0.20

- USB Extension Cable: $2

Which means it'd only cost you about $3.20 to build your own adapter. Of course, I used chinese knockoffs but it WORKS and it's CHEAP :)
