Very smooth! I’m hoping Contra is next on the list! That would be something to see!

roshamboe,

I don’t think this would be possible.
I’m not 100% sure on the rock band pedal, but I know the World Tour pedal uses a piezo, which means each “kick” is sends a single impulse signal, like tapping a button would.
The rock band pedal, if I remember correctly, is a button, so its possible that it could be wired in as a replacement for the “a” button or something on a traditional controller. As far as for the wii goes, I’d suggest you try something simpler first.

Since the left/right reading is a continuum, I’d like to see a version of this that adds the B button with extreme left/right measurements. This would give a sort of variable movement speed similar to an analog stick. Based on Mario’s speed in this video I would guess that actually the B button is permanently pressed, and then released and held again for the fireball/jump. So what about up for jump, down for fireball?

Not really ultimately useful as a controller but it still looks like fun.

Much Like the U-Force from years ago…

I dunno. The video looks eerily familiar to the demo that plays before you hit ‘start’. Almost identical. It’s like he memorized the opening demo, and moved his hands in sequence.

Props for having a Theremin project.

Major bonus props for having a theremin project involving an actual real theremin. That kind of makes it completely unique.

Nice project.

Good job, you also clearly practiced with it before filming.

He could probably use a foot pedal for more input.
