For the knolling project I chose to take apart a wiimote. The process of disassembly was a bit trickier than I expected. The wiimote uses screws that have a triangular slot so I had to track down the appropriate screwdriver. Once apart the controller was fairly straightforward. One circuitboard connected to all of the physical buttons. Also on the circuitboard was an accelerometer as well as a bluetooth chip and ir lights. After further research online I found the basic functions of the light sensor/sender and how the wii is able to calculate where you are pointing the wiimote.
