Cool! I am searching for a program in C (for Linux) to read Wiimote values through Bluetooth. I have a BT USB connector, and want to test if it can read from it. -- |

Do you guys think that thing would work with any infra-red videocamera or must it be a Wiimote? I didn't try it (I have no webcam) but it's only few simple steps, I think it should work. The experiments can begin right now! |

Yep, there is this group at school that created a mouse that is worn like a cap using a red led and a webcam. But why reinvent everything when you have it already done? -- |

For what purpose do you need IR camera? [My website][CppReference][Pixelate][Allegators worldwide][Who's online] |

Rey, there are C libraries discussed at http://www.wiili.org/index.php/Wiiuse_C and http://www.wiili.org/index.php/CWiid. I hear CWiid mentioned the most, but it is Linux. Basically, I've been finding all of my Wiimote hacking info at http://www.wiili.org/. Gillius |

Yesterday I tried to start the bluetooth service and Ubuntu froze. The last time I tried (maybe 6 or 7 months ago) it worked fine enough (could transfer things from desktop to my cellular phone). Maybe I need to reinstall everything and dump all the configuration files. -- |

I just got a TrendNet adapter (TBW-105UB), and while it will associate with the Wiimote, programs can't read from it. From what I've searched, anything that uses WIDCOMM 5 won't work. So now I either need to try BlueSoleil drivers or find WIDCOMM v4 drivers from a similar device and try to get it to install somehow. Gillius |

Quote: I just got a TrendNet adapter (TBW-105UB), and while it will associate with the Wiimote, programs can't read from it. As I been too lazy to buy a new adapter, I recently tried again with the one I got with my MS mouse, and found that GlovePIE can send data with the bluetooth fix, and that's it. No reading what so ever! And BlueSoleil doesn't even know it's a bluetooth adapter either. --- |

Weird, my BT adapter I got from Woot.com for 99 cents works perfectly. From what I can gather, it has a Broadcom chipset (at least it comes with Broadcom software). I must have gotten lucky with it... its only good for Wiimotes and tethering to my mobile phone for internet, apparently it's too slow to support A2DP so my bluetooth headphones are unusable with it. |

For bluetooth adapters, these work with Wiimotes and are quite cheap (self tested). I've only tried it on XP and Linux, however, so I'm not sure if it works on Vista yet. I've been trying out some of those demos, the effect is even more fun in real life.

Be aware that Glove PIE is the fabulous script that enables you to use Wii ( and many other interfaces) with a PC.

I tried some other thing, forgot the name, but it beats the snot out of Glove PIE. |

Yeah, WiinRemote really doesn't, if that's what you were talking about. stapler: are you able to get the wiimote to pair with Windows automatically? -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

CGamesPlay: I never tried and have since killed Windows. Sorry. I didn't use the Wiimote much in Windows, I would always just tell the driver to search and press 1 and 2 simultaneously.

Thanks to information from this thread: http://www.wiili.org/forum/tbw-105ub-connected-to-pc-but-has-no-response-in-glovepie-t3152.html, I have found out that the TBW-105UB works if you use the WIDCOMM 5 drivers from the Broadcom site, found at http://www.broadcom.com/products/bluetooth_update.php. The version I got was 5.1.0.4000. After I did that, WiinRemote and GlovePIE worked. Gillius |

Before watching, I was thinking "head tracking... cool, but probably useless". But having watched the video, I'm impressed with how well it works. I think this definitely has potential to be something big. ----------- |

low cost sensors and captors are finally arrived ! now what we need is new protocol because of tactil screens. one mouse manipulating is not enough. we need to use our 10 fingers at the same time lokk here on sergi jorda s work ( it s motion tracking in live): here the main site, qhere there is explanation also of reactvision and its protocol to handle multiple events at the same time "step by step" |
