WiimoteLib v1.7 Released

image I have just put up the latest version of WiimoteLib at CodePlex.  The changes for this release are:

v1.7.0.0

  • Writing registers is now properly waiting for the Wiimote to reply before continuing...this removes all of the Thread.Sleep() calls and should *greatly* improve performance when setting LEDs and rumble (Serial Nightmare & wwibrew.org)
  • Guitar Hero: World Tour Guitar and Drums now properly recognized and used (wiibrew.org, tested by Tyler Tolley and Mauro Milazzo)
  • Guitar whammy bar is now a 5-bit value instead of 4 (wiibrew.org)
  • Position of 4 IRs now properly reported in Basic reporting mode (Dan Carter)
  • Found1/2 now properly reported in MSRS (reported by akka243)
  • MSRS project updated to Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008

Please give this new version a try and let me know how it works for you, especially if you have one of the newly supported controllers.  And, as always, what features/bugs would you like to see added/fixed?  Please leave a comment here or contact me directly so I can add it to the list.  Enjoy!

This is probably not a bug, but it is a problem I'm having that may be obvious to you.

Using WiiMoteLib 1.7 I can connect to the Wiimote in standalone programs.  When I try to use the library in Unity3D it fails in Connect() when it tries to create a FileStream.  It throws an IOException: Invalid Handle.  To get this far it must have found the Wiimote using the library code.

Any idea why it wouldn't be able to open the FileStream in the Unity3D environment?  Looking at the Unity3D forum, I see that someone else encountered this problem a few days ago, but no one has come up with an answer yet.
