VESC Input Using Raspberry Pi and Wiimote

Is it possible to use a Raspberry Pi to provide input to a VESC? I am currently working on a school project that requires the implementation of a Raspberry Pi into a project, and I was planning on using a Wiimote to control a Pi which would control a VESC.

After ordering my VESC, I realized that this may not be as simple as I thought it would be.

Does anyone have previous experience or a place for me to read to learn more?

 

Thank you :)

I'm currently using PyVESC https://github.com/LiamBindle/PyVESC to get teh VESC status for reporting but there are some commands there for controlling a VESC I believe.

Were you ever able to figure it out? I found this GitHub project(https://github.com/GarrettFaucher/Wiimote-VESC-Control) which is exactly what we are doing but I am having trouble figuring out how to run it.
