In the spirit of the holiday, allow me to share with you the
disis.aka.wiiremote v1.00 release that is now available for download from
the DISIS website (http://disis.music.vt.edu, for the impatient, direct link
to the download folder is http://ico.music.vt.edu/Max/).

The DISIS variation of the aka.wiiremote external provides Wii Fit interface
with supporting documentation, and some code enhancements.

Special thanks go obviously to Masayuki Akamatsu for his aka.wiiremote
external, Sabrina Killian for her research on the Wii Fit protocol, and
Ji-Sun Kim for her code contributions.

NB: since the object is built upon the aka.wiiremote architecture, it uses
OSX Bluetooth protocol and is unfortunately OS-specific. However, the source
is included, so porting should be relatively easy. Please note however, in
the spirit of the scotch tape 'n' bondo approach to coding we introduced one

project timing constraints, so please consider yourselves warned if you do
decide to dig into the code. That being said, the hack should not be
volatile nor should it have any bearing on the runtime performance of the
object. Also, PD version has not been built nor tested yet, so this may or
may not compile for Pd/OSX.

Please report any bugs/problems. Also, if you do happen to have a classic
Wii controller, please check that it also works ok as some of its code was
altered to accommodate support for the Wii Fit.

This seems like exactly what I want, but the links aren't taking me anywhere. Is there an updated version of this anywhere?

you don't mention max version or OS you use.

otherwise one could make some suggestions or workarrounds.

not to my knowledge.

I think, under MacOS a typical solution for wiimote (and many other controllers) is application called OSCulator, which is able to transmit data from the controller via MIDI or OSC. I'm not sure about Monterey, but OSCulator works fine with Big Sur.

There is a trial version of the application available:
