This instructable will show you how to rewire the button of the Wiimote to bigger buttons so that persons with disabilities will be able to efficiently use the Wiimote by not having to press the small buttons on the Wiimote. The buttons that will be rewired will be the A button, B button, the directional pad (up, down, left, right), and the Home button.
Update:
An updated wireless version of the adapted Wii-mote using an Arduino board and Xbee wireless circuits can be found here.

Signing UpStep 1: Soldering Tips Before You Begin
To solder very small items follow the following procedure:
1. Spread some soldering flux on the components you wish to solder.
2. Gather a bit of solder on the tip of your iron.
3. Touch the components together.
4. Give the components a kiss with the soldering iron. The solder on the tip should transfer to the components.
Take care not to put to much solder on the tip of the iron, doing so may result in the bridging of two or more components you don't want soldered together

This is a very important item to making this project workable
I downloaded the PDF and that is a poor pixalated image as well.
Does anyone have the schematic that shows where on the PC board I can connect the A B and ground?
Thanks,

Hi, I love your posts and I am trying to create some of the wiimote modification you have posted but I ran into a slight hardware issue. Could you please let me know what make and model 8p8c connectors you use? The ones I purchased have a slightly different orientation of the terminal end making them too large to fit properly. Thank you. -Ryan
