Part 2. Wii Balance Board Scale
Why a Wii Balance Board? It turns out that it is a really nice, durable scale that has bluetooth connectivity. This will allow us to connect it to a single-board computer (Raspberry Pi) to read your weight in a Python script and send those measurements to an online data service to do cool stuff. Plus, there is a good chance that you or someone you know already has one that is simply collecting dust.
We will need to make a couple of simple modifications to our Wii Balance Board to really make this project practical and convenient.
