Yes, I have finally done it. I can make the fish talk by waving the
wiimote around. One can get kind of creative with IR sources.
I didn't think I was going to be able to make anything work tonight
until I bought more highly expensive IR LEDs.

But instead, I used another hi-tech piece of technology.
A candle and a butane lighter. Worked great.

Coding wasn't as smooth as I had hoped. I was stuck on a jaw rotation
bug. ... Let's just say that fish jaw was in many many places other than
where you see it now.
