I pulled out one of the mosfet modules to test it via 4 AAs (6 volts). It fired the gearbox that came with the gun via the 7.5v battery pack just fine, which makes sense of course. I guess I'm just waiting on parts. :angry:

I'll probably wire up my led harness this weekend. At least I can test my stock wiimotes to get an idea of distance and how the lenses are going to help in that regard.

Woohoo!

Getting the placement and offsets perfected is a PITA, but you only need to do it once.

I hope you are as impressed with the accuracy and distance as I am.

So my test wiimotes came in. The nintendo branded one naturally works just fine. I can't get the nyko one to sync. I think the issue lies in the length of time it takes a wiimote to sync on the pc. With a real wiimote you can continue to hold down 1 and 2 and the wiimote will keep trying to sync (it usually repeats the cycle at least once) but with the nyko wand you only get one sync attempt. If anyone knows a solution let me know. It's a same since these are usually cheaper and the exposed pins make them easier to hack

Try right clicking on the little Bluetooth icon in your taskbar area to get the sub-menu, and then select "Join a Personal Area Network". Then add the device from the screen which opens up. It might work better and it won't ask for a passcode.

Pressing and releasing the buttons on my third party guns seemed to work a lot better than holding them down.
Not sure if it's relevant, but worth a try.
