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!

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?

Thank you!
