I uploaded a new version of aka.wiiremote at:

http://www.iamas.ac.jp/~aka/max/#aka_wiiremote

The Classic Controller is supported and some bugs are fixed (I hope so).

About the stability on PowerBook G4, I noticed that:

I can connect and use it well if I re-set the Wii Remote *every time* 

(1) Delete "Nintendo RVL-CNT-01" on "Device" tab in "Bluetooth" 

(3) Open "aka.wiiremote.help" and connect it.

This is inconvenient but I can't find any other better solutions at 

Please let me know the result of this method.

I can get data from nunchuk with PowerBook G4/17"/1.33GHz.

I can get data from nunchuk with PowerBook G4/17"/1.33GHz.
Mac OS X 10.4.9 and Max 4.6.2.

Please try:
Plug nunchuk out and then plug it in.
or
Plug nunchuk in after the connection.

I'm working on OSX 10.4.9 on PowerMac G4.

Maybe you know why Vibration / Expansion / Ir don't work using your object? (Max 4.6.2).

Connecting / Disconnecting / Motion Sensors work perfetly.

maybe it is a Bluetooth framework problem?

They work using Darwiinremote.
And they work using FlashWiiServer.

How can i fix it?

Hi, i know there is some probleme with bluetooth on powerbookG4

(see the msg of Masayuki) this method is inconvenient but works

It seems to not work using G5 Dual 2Ghz osx 10.4.9

I'm considering that the problem is my Belkin Bluetooth Dongle.

I can NOT guarantee anything but I'm using Wii Sensor Bar (original 

http://max.iamas.ac.jp/2061/articles/348.html

http://max.iamas.ac.jp/2061/articles/333.html

I bought a extra Sensor Bar, removed the cable and connect solder 

power lines in FireWire cable to the circuit.

I believe that PowerBook/MacBook provide about 12DCV bus power on 

But it might damage the computer in the worst case.

I also made a standalone Sensor Bar using four CR1220 (3DCV) batteries.

Sorry to keep this post going, but I just wanted to let you know about

my powerbook G4 status. I connected with perfect wiiremote motion,

led, buttons, vibration, nunchuck motion, joystick, and nunchuck

buttons. I haven't been able to test IR, but I'll look into that

Open max and help patch. Pair using bluetooth setup assistant. While

the wii is still flashing, press connect, then press the metro.

Really great stuff. It's not that much of a pain consider all the

great data I'm getting. Thanks again for making the object. Will

If you want comments from non Japanese gurus you might consider an 

English version of your descriptions on the site... ;-)

But if you didn't destroy your computer yet, it seems to work...

I believe that Firewire as well as USB should be able to drive a bunch 

of IR-LEDs, but the computer would not know how much will be driven and 

can't warn you as "real" devices can if you hook up too much on the bus...

the power from usb is 3V,you can connect the led with 200ohms resistor so you get the appropriate voltage, in other way you can connect 3 led in series to divide Voltage.(nota led is 1,2V)

just an information for ir led

I wonder if this may help you: I have managed to get the aka.wiimote IR working on a PPC Ibook (1,42ghz;Darwiin remote and WiiRemoteFramework installed)thorugh a few steps.

1)remove the "Nintendo RVL-CNT-01" from bluetooth devices (if it's there).

4)press the 1 & 2 buttons on the wiimote (I get connect: 1 in Max window)

5)press connect (aka.wiimote) AGAIN (this shows connect: -1 in Max window)

6)Start metro: motion sensor and IR work perfectly (I have checked a few consecutive times).

Thank you so much Masayuki for this wonderful object.

Hi, I'm new. I was reading a bit and I noticed that you were able to get the joystick on the nunchuck to work. I'm using darwiin and I can't seem to use the joystick function. Please help. Thanks.
