Wiimote ?

Hi,

Does anyone manage to make a Wiimote work under Windows that can give me advice ?

I have try using :

  • Microsoft / BlueSoleil (BlueTooth stack) : both detect the wiimote
  • BlueCove (JSR 82) : it seems to be the good choise but I have to desactivate some controls to be able to detect Wiimote
  • MoteJ / WiiRemoteJ (Wiimote library) : MoteJ doesn’t detect Wiimote, WiiRemoteJ detects Wiimote but can’t communicate with it.

I have read that I have to install Widcomm stack but I didn’t find it (to download)…

To make it simple… I’m totaly lost ;D

You could try JInput, it might work with the wiimote.

think there was a project trying to get it working with looking glass at https://lg3d-wii.dev.java.net/ not sure how far they got.

I can only tell you http://www.uweschmidt.org/wiimote-whiteboard worked here under ubuntu, sorry don’t have Windows to fiddle with atm.

As far as I understant now there is a problem with the protocol stack.
WiiRemoteJ seem to need the L2CAP that nether Microsoft stack or BlueSoleil stack have (lucky guys with BlueZ under Linux ;)). What I don’t get is that I can use Wiimote with GlovePIE. May be I should try another library :-\

ps : I have try to use JInput (the test that is in LWJGL) and it doesn’t work with both Microsoft stack and BlueSoleil stack.
