    Wiimote Vista Ultimate Bluetooth

    I am looking for suggestions on how to solve my problem with using the Wiimote test program and library. ! By the way, this is not a gripe! I'm just looking for ideas on how to solve this ! Background: Name Will George 1. Using Vista Ultimate 2. Using a Microsoft branded USB Transceiver Bluetooth 2.0 3. Microsoft Bluetooth Stack (I would assume) Using whatever Vista installed. 4. I have no issues using bluetooth for what I do. Mostly my NXT. My issue is I can only use the Wiimote test program once. Well, not quite true. Lets just say untill the Wii Remote 'goes to sleep' / Shuts off? If I try to use the program again I receive: private void MultipleWiimoteForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { // find all wiimotes connected to the system mWC = new WiimoteCollection(); int index = 1; try { mWC.FindAllWiimotes(); } catch(WiimoteNotFoundException ex) { //{"No Wiimotes found in HID device list."} <

    Are you re-pairing the Wiimote to the PC after it goes to sleep?

    The Wiimote does not support an auto-reconnect.  Anytime it is disconnected in anyway, it must unfortunately be repaired from scratch.

    Brian.. Thanks for the QUICK response! Somehow half of my post got lost? I have no idea how. Just my luck I guess.. LOL.. The part lost stated that I could ONLY re-connect if I DELETED the Wii in the Bluetooth dialog and start over. If I did a search for devices I received a message 'already connected' I'm not sure of the exact words but Vista thought it was there... Just a poke in the ribs...

    Yes, I get the same behavior on my Vista machine with the BT stack.  I have to delete it and re-pair to get it to be recognized again.  Sadly, not much I can do about it since it's down to the Bluetooth stack and the Wiimote...

    Not your fault at all...just the fact that the Wiimote isn't 100% Bluetooth compatible and the Microsoft stack isn't very forgiving.

    Sleep takes too much time.

    Last reply. At least for now. Great work anyway! And then some... Maybe we need a Chat room in here? Then you would never get any sleep... Have a GREAT Sunday!
