Is that what you're looking for?
1. http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?t=15852
2. http://code.google.com/p/witiltdemo
Both refer to the same code at this time.
This isn't a rhetorical question, I really want to know what the benefits of this product are.
It doesn't have anything that the Wii Remote doesn't have (I think I said that right). Anyways, it does have a serial interface for configuring the Gyro and the Accelerometer over bluetooth without any hacking required. I don't know how you actually interface to a Wii remote over bluetooth; maybe it's the same way.
You can also access the programming header of the Witilt to re-program the board for more custom applications. You could probably find a way to do this with a Wii controller, but it's almost definately easier with the WiTilt.
(By the way, WiTilt isn't a rip-off of the Wii remote name in any way. It's a shortened version of 'Wireless Tilt' sensor, in case there was any confusion).
from a Labview program? What should I answer when Labview asks for Witilt`s address (in XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX format)?
Do you have a bluetooth serial dongle available? You need to find the bluetooth address of your WiTilt. You can probably do this through Labview, but it's easier to just open a COM port on your PC and use your bluetooth module to search for devices. If you search for devices from your computer with the WiTilt turned on, then it will show up in the device list, and the address will be presented. You can then copy that address and put it in your Labview VI.
