Nintendo Wii Remote Object 1.0B5

On PPC G4 PowerBook, nunchuck, LED, IR, and vibration are not working
for me. Just wanted to see if anyone else is having problems.

Thanks,
Keith

I've just confirmed it on my PowerBook G4. Thank you for reporting.

I've changed my development environment to MacBook Pro and PowerMac
G5 + BT adapter. I forgot to check it with PowerBook well.

With my PowerMac G5/2.5Quad + D-Link's DBT-120 adapter, all functions
seem to work fine.
But it fails to connect/disconnect in rare cases ( not so often, I
believe..).

With my MacBook Pro, it works well.

I don't know the difference between these systems but I'll check it
further with PowerBook G4. Please let me know the other working status.

Thank you and sorry for the inconveniences.

Best,
Masayuki Akamatsu

Keith,

this may be the same issue I've been having with the previous version
of the object. I've found that I actually need to sync twice to get
the LED and vibration to work, and it needs to be a red button sync.

Hello Masayuki Akamatsu,

my first look into this forum and the first thing i saw is your external for the Wii-Remote: i ran outside, got myself a controller, hooked it up to my Mac and boom: it's just working.

This is so unbelievable great: it's just the interface i allways dreamed off (and never have been able to afford...).

Thank you sooooo much!!

Best wishes,

Claas Hanson

What do I need to get the wii remotes working? Do I need the
sensorbar too? Not interested in the wii itself, and I can't tell
from the Nintendo site if the sensor bar is available as a separate
item.

Best,

All you need is a bluetooth equipped mac and the wiiremote. You can
use the tilt/accelerometer sensors straight away. For the IR you can
either solder together some IR emitters (there;s some instructions on
Akamatsu's web site) or even use candles (also on the site).

Hey, I updated a patch im working on to 1.0B5. I can get everything working (all the new Nunchuck stuff), however when I activate the nunchuck, it seems that my IR stops working-- but as soon as I de-activate IR, the nunchuck starts working again...

hopefully we can figure this out, it would be great to use IR and Nunchuck accelerometer/Joystick at the same time!

Hey, All.

I just wanted to wake this thread up again, but changing the subject slightly. After hours of staring at the pretty lines, I've yet to figure out a good way to actually put this snazzy little thing to use... sad, but true.

After the necessary smoothing and simplifying (multisplit or, in my case, Lclose) of the input, I've been trying to implement simple pattern matching. My thought has been to "record" a set of exemplars -- gestures which serve as examples of gestures I want Max to learn to "recognize" -- then to test live input against the exemplars, and pick the best match. However, I'm actually finding this much more difficult than I originally thought it would be...

I'm not giving up on this approach yet, but I wonder whether people might be interested in sharing their experiences with, and patches for, using the wiiremote? I often learn better when I'm looking at actual examples, and I could really use some help. I'll certainly post my work if and when I get something worth posting!

thanks,

J.
