Put the wiimote on a surface you want to use as a reference and press A.
 
This will start a calibration for minimum and maximum values of your Wiimote, afterwards you can put it on a target surface to see the difference in inclination.

* Chg: GRRlib is now responsible for all drawing needs. (Which means: more eye-candy)
* Add: Raw acceleration values in the debug info text
* Add: Freeze function on pressing Plus to freeze current values - this is interesting if you cannot see your screen.
 
'''v0.4:'''
* Chg: Median instead of arithmetic mean is now used to get calibration values, this should increase accuracy.
* Chg: Message class now handles text drawing
* Add: Internal info on pressing B in the slider box screen
* Add: Arc graph showing current tilt
 
'''v0.3:'''
* Fix: Leftover cursor pixel from previous tests removed
* Chg: Measuring is done in degrees
* Chg: Verbosity of calibration screen decreased
* Add: Detection if Wiimote #1 is up and running
* Add: Pictures
* Add: Calibration for maximum value on the Wiimote when standing upright. These things are so unprecise :-/

Leveltool is a simple level for the Wii. Place the remote on a flat surface and press the A button to calibrate the level. After calibration, simply place the remote on the surface you wish to straighten out.

Missing a spirit level at home, I decided to use the Wiimote as a replacement. Over time, this tool evolved to something more like a protractor.

Note: If you use C++ and want to use GRRlib for drawing, you might want to have a look at the 'Draw' class (Draw.cpp & Draw.h). This thing kept me sane :-)

Installation

Download & extract the archive, and place it in your apps folder on your SD card so the Homebrew Channel can find it.

Usage

Put the wiimote on a surface you want to use as a reference and press A.

This will start a calibration for minimum and maximum values of your Wiimote, afterwards you can put it on a target surface to see the difference in inclination.
