Hi all
Due to a coincidence I got in touch with the manufacturer of these Wii Nunchuck<->Arduino adapters.
From what I understand the wii nunchuck exposes an I2C interface and the nunchuck itself contains a 3-axis accelerometer, a 2-axis joystick, and two buttons making it one of the most complete peripherals.
Because it's I2C I immediatelly thought of Robobuilder and the cool project iBot and Novaone are doing with the cam from the Wiimote.
We can probably adapt this one to the RB as well and make some cool stuff out of it
The blog with further details is here:

I will let you know as soon as we figure out pricing how many we will be receiving.
Cheers
Pedro
