A new WIIMOTE thread
drventure:
I know there's been various threads about the wiimote around here for a while, but I haven't seen any mention of BlueSoleils new Gamii plugin for their bluetooth stack.

Anyone had any experience with it? The main prob with the wiimote and bluetooth was the pairing. Since it was so manual, it really didn't work well for a cab.
But, from what I'm reading on the Gamii site, it sounds like they got that all ironed out.
For 20pounds for the stack plus another 14 for Gamii, this might be worth a shot.
But I was wondering if anyone had already tried it out
Looks like the Gamii was just released about month ago, so it's pretty new stuff.

neat! I'm just hoping somebody make the end all, be all arcade "light gun" from the Wiimote.. especially now that MotionPlus added gyros for one to one movement. You could use the wiimote for all kinds of controls.. Steering, Star Wars yoke.. even whack-a-mole :p

Definitely, There are tons of "wiimote guns" (little plastic jobs that just hold a wiimote) I can get for 4$ at Ross. If this would work, I'll pick a few of them up, steampunkify them and have a pair of dueling pistols for shooting games.
I did turn up one review from 3 days after it's release saying it was garbage, but then that review also said it doesn't support the sensor bar, which the BlueSoliel website specifically says it DOES support. I noticed they're up to version 1.01 though so it may have been that the initial release was rough.

I'll be watching this thread with great interest.

I've read up on people using GLovePie for interfacing the Wii.. but that's probably already been discussed her at BYOAC.. My dad actually gave me a wiimote the other day.. He said he found it in a RV my parents bought! now I just need a compatible bluetooth dongle to try this out :)
