I would guess the Iphone would be alot...ALOT easier, but this idea looks like fun to make. Just wondering if anyone had actually done it.

By far the best of these "toys" for a reasonable price.

Well its a 10th of the price of the iPhone so if it sucks, oh well. Plus you dont have to pay data charges on the Wii remote

I bought a Beltronics Vector FX2 Performance Computer on Ebay.... we'll see how it goes lol.

That performance box from Mike's link looks awesome, but $50 for the FX2, how can I go wrong?
