Last year (technically last two, because it was in December 2008) design a small system to control SecondLife his nose and a Wiimote. Now I have another project in mind and I came very well use a Wiimote with a capacity to target (c'mon, I need the sensor bar.) I thought it was going to have to work wonders, but it is already fully supported by the evidence and I've done (little truth) seems to serve no problems.
first thing you need is a Bluetooth implementation that supports the Wiimote. Windows 7 is supposedly capable of doing and in my tests the device matching, but no human form of the scripts (commented later) work. I will recommend BlueSoleil occupies only 100MiB and payment ... if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
Having done so, connect the Wiimote is no problem, simply open your "Bluetooth Places", press the wiimote 1 and 2 simultaneously and displayed on the screen. Do right click on it and "Connect Bluetooth Human Interface Device."
The following is GlobePIE download, which will translate the movements of Wiimote movements and keyboard or mouse. However, as this mapping depends on the context, you need to create appropriate scripts for each task that you please take out. For more generic, such as moving the mouse, there are predefined scripts that come with Internet GlobePIE and there are many;)
Among those who've tried are " WiiMouse Accel " and "IR WiiMouse (both come with GlobePIE .) In both cases you have to "calibrate". The first lines of both scripts said to amend the three values \u200b\u200b(x-axis, y and z) to resulting 0 keeping the Wiimote on a flat surface (and perpendicular to the screen of course). Do not say is that to read those values, you must tell the script to display debug output.
To calibrate the Wiimote in your scripts have to locate the line that begins with "debug =" and then add a line that says "display debug". After this leave the wiimote on the table and run the script, will give values \u200b\u200bfor the three axes. You'll have to subtract or add these values \u200b\u200bto those in the script so that they are 0. These values \u200b\u200bdepend on each Wiimote ... so if you change of command, must be recalibrated.
In the case of "WiiMouse Accel" GlobePIE will monitor only the accelerometer, so there will be no point, is handled by moving the Wiimote as a key. The case of "WiiMouse IR" is the best, it comes with the sensor bar and allows targeting as well as using the accelerometer. Now, how do we connect the sensor bar to my computer?
not need to connect the bar to the computer. Since the bar are only two light emitters a distance X, with which we serve is on, so I can think of two solutions:
crappy Plan: Connect the bar to the Wii, turn it on and put the bar on the screen computer.
sofisiticado Plan: Currat an adapter to connect the bar to the USB.
If you prefer the sophisticated plan, you can create a bar for four dollars. The guys at Instructables tell you how:)
