Anyone seen/tried to use a Wii U controller/ screen as there controller and use it as a FPV monitor?
Just curious.

Yes. I did a small project some time ago utilizing the controller and the "wiiuse" library on the mac and linux (bluetooth). In the simulator it works ok, but due to other issues I never got a plane off the ground that was controlled by that controller. I used an arduimu v3 to receive the control signal over wifi (LR wifi). Eventually I ditched the control method due to wifi latency. I got 40-70 packets per second, but real transmitters have a lot more realtime control. Also, I got concerned about the reliability of wifi vs. a real transmitter on 433.
In short, the idea is neat and together with an IMU is an interesting project to execute, but it has to be analyzed further. I'd probably interpret the 'angle' of the controller now, convert that into a PWM control signal and send it over the radio instead.
