Use Wii guitars with a Dolphinbar on Linux

This script maps Wii guitar inputs to keyboard events when connected to a Dolphinbar.

The Dolphinbar takes Wiimote HID events and emits them via a USB HID device. This behavior is incompatible with existing Wiimote drivers on Linux. This script serves as a quick hack to map these inputs to keyboard inputs (which are hardcoded in the script).

This script requires python-uinput and pyhidapi.

Thanks to WiiBrew for their extensive documentation on the Wiimote protocols.

Name inspired by the awesome WiitarThing, which solves this problem for Windows.
