Wii Remote Mouse
|
Wii Remote Mouse Application, Wii Remote Mouse allows you to control your PC using one or more Nintendo Wii Remotes, you can use with or without a Wii Sensor bar. It was developed with the WiimoteLib library.
Purpose:
Allows you to use one or more Wii Remotes on your windows XP or Vista computer
Things you will need:
* 1 or more Wii Remotes ($70 AUD ea)
* Windows XP or Vista PC with bluetooth connectivity (Microsoft Stack preferred)
(you can purchase a Bluetooth USB dongle for $10 AUD if your computer isnt bluetooth enabled),
I recommend the D-Link DBT-120 USB DOngle (www.dlink.com/products/?pid=34)
* OPTIONAL: Cordless Wii Sensor bar ($15 AUD)
If dont you have a cordless or seperate wii sensor bar you have three options:
1) Dont use the pointer on the screen - you can still control the mouse with the nunchuck
2) You can use your wiis sensorbar, but you must follow these steps:
* Make sure you Wii is OFF
* Connect your Wiimotes to your computer and get the program running with them conencted
* Turn your Wii on and use the Sensor bar from that
3) See section under making your own glove in this file to use your fingers instead
Usage:
Hold down buttons 1 & 2 on all remotes that you wish to connect (if the LEDs stop flashing, release
and hold buttons 1 & 2 again) and run WiiMouse.exe, wait for connection, if it dosnt detect all of the
remotes you are trying to connect just use the Force Re-Detect button and keep those lights flashing on
all remotes.
NOTE: If your bluetooth stack does not use Microsofts implementation, you will have to use your
bluetooth icon to connect your wiimotes manually, do this by holding buttons 1 & 2 down and
using your bluetooth connection icon.
Once connected the program will say "X wiimotes connected, point the wiimote(s) at the Wii Sensorbar...".
