Team WiiLi needs help with Wiimote reverse engineering

WiiLiThe WiiLi project has become some sort of a recurring news around here. While we aren't part of the development team itself, we are rather curious as to how this final project would eventually turn out. They've had their share of ups and downs and right now, they are needing once more the community's help.

In their Wiki page, the WiiLi team announced that they need and want to reverse engineer the Wiimote. By reverse engineering, this is exactly what they mean:
  • How to enable the Nunchuk and read all events from it (buttons, joystick, accelerometer)
  • How to enable the Classic Controller and read all events from it (buttons and joysticks)
  • How to get the Power Button to work
  • How to play sound without horrible distortion
But before they can proceed, the team mentioned that they will be needing a Bluetooth air sniffer. This special gadget will allow for them to record and time-stamp log the communication between the controller and the console. They don't want to buy an air sniffer (as it costs around US$ 4,000) so they are asking the community where, how and how much they can rent one.

The WiiLi project began as a dream final college project. While the team is pushing forward, we wonder if they had bitten more than they can chew. Finally, in case you're wondering how much money have been donated to the project, the answer is we don't know. Somehow, the announcement is not appearing on their site anymore. They previously mentioned that donations will be accepted until December 21.
