For developers
The "protocol" used is very simple, send 0x09AD09AD to the UDP server/USB Gecko from your application, and the Wii will start reporting inputs at ~200Hz. The controller input format is shown below as a C structure:
struct NETPADData {
uint16_t buttons;
int8_t stickX;
int8_t stickY;
int8_t substickX;
int8_t substickY;
uint8_t triggerL;
uint8_t triggerR;
} paddata;
