PiChuk, a wireless Raspberry Pi joystick controller.

This is my attempt to stick a Pi Zero inside of a Wii Nunchuk. I use this to control an organization-type program I made, but I can see this being useful for videogames as well.

It is powered by a 750mAH LiPo battery used for drones. I used an Adafruit Powerboost to regulate the power. It uses the Wii Nunchuk's joystick PCB, buttons, and top cover.

I tried to get this as compact as possible, but there wasn't nearly enough room to actually fit a Pi Zero completely in a Wii Nunchuk, not even considering the other parts. I modelled the lower body of the Nunchuk to fit all the components in the hand-grip part. I planned to make a cover for the grip portion, but it feels ok to hold already, and I didn't want to add extra bulk.

I use this with my Vufine wearable display, which is why I needed it to have a standard HDMI port.

Thankfully, the Nunchuk's PCB has a built-in analogue-digital converter, so I didn't have to use a separate one.
