.NET-based Wiimote Applications

The following is a list of the applications that I know about using my .NET Managed Library for the Nintendo Wiimote.

 
If there are others out there, please send them my way!

I don't seem to be able to download your lib from the Coding4fun download link.

as the link points to http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=291133

That is the correct link and is working here.  That link takes you to a page on Channel9 and you need to cilck the "[Save]" link on that page to download the .zip file.

Great library Brian! Here is my first wpf application that uses your library to read in the status of the wiimote:

Thanks for the update to the library, I'll be looking into multiple points soon!

This is a great library and adds a great amount of extensibility to the computer. check out the Johnny Lee project forum for another community of people using your Library to do great things. Keep up the good work!

Hi Brian,

I've written a tutorial for controlling a lego NXT with the wiimote with MSRS.

Thank you very much for the library, and for MSRS support! I just love it!

@Antony, as the article linked in this post states, it's available at CodePlex...www.codeplex.com/WiimoteLib

I have a wii fit and am trying to discover the codes to get the sensor data (4 values at least)... any-ideas-any-one?

I have tried to sequence through the codes for the 3 byte output message but can't see any dynamic data coming back.

@Bob, I *should* have it supported in the next version...

My dad was in a very bad motorcycle accident in 2003.  He is a quadriplegic now.  His spine was severed in two places.  My mother waits on him hand and foot 24/7.  It seems every time she sits down he need her to change the channel or turn up the TV.  I was hoping someone might be able to use the head tracking idea and make it so my day could change the channels and volume on his own.  It sounds like a small thing, but would make a huge difference in their lives.  It would also be nice if it would work on the computer.  They have tried different voice activated remotes without success.  They have also tried the Dragon software on the computer without much success.  it is very frustrating.  If anyone could help us I would really appreciate it and so would my parents.

thanks,

Marnie

@Marnie, If you could invest in a large LCD screen, and some hardware, you could run television through the computer to the LCD screen, and control it by computer.

As for controling the computer, you could use the wiimote as a mouse. You would have to mount the wiimote to his head, and rig the trigger to be activated when he moved his jaw. I am sure it would look wierd, but for him to be able to interact with a computer again, I think it would be worth it.

There are several methods for using the wiimote as a mouse, using either tilt or IR camera, and most of them are pretty easy to incorporate. As far as text entry goes, dragon naturally speaking is really the only way to go. Dragon is not the best app for actually controlling a comptuer, though. It's just dictation software. I have run across this, however, which looks promising:

www.voiceteach.com/.../voicepower.asp

No garentees though. If it does work well, however, I would like to know. If you test it, shoot me an email.

Hi! I'd like to know what is the best and most new programme / driver to use the wiimote as joypad?

Do you have a list of USB bluetooth dongles that work with your software we are having trouble with one or two we have bought and the interface with your software WiiLab and Matlab.

Thanks

@ Dr. F

No, I don't have an exhaustive list of adapters/stacks.  What issue(s) are you having on what adapters/stacks?  Use the Contact link at the top of the page to get me directly for easier communication.

@Marnie:

My wii mouse program here:

home.exetel.com.au/.../wiimouse.phtml

Has a glasses mode for just this purpose, you attach LEDs to the glasses, make one LED on permanently and the other only turns on when a biting switch its pressed, when you run my program in GLASSESSINGLELED mode it will allow full control of the computer with just your head and your teeth.

Hi Brian,

I'm workin in conjunction with a rehab hospital, trying to make an app whereby patients can use the wiimote for game control on their pc.

One problem i'm having is figuring out if it is possible to have the wiimote automatically connect to the pc without having to go through hoops evertime the patient wants to play the game.

Do you know if this is possible?

Thanks in advance

@Harvey, there are a couple utilities that attempt to do this.  They all require the MS stack and aren't 100% perfect.  YMMV...
