Wii Projects

If you have a Nintendo Wii and want a new way to use it try some of the projects Johny Lee has made, from using it as an interactive whiteboard to a 3d display, the wiimote can be used for anything.  The best way to get started is to download glovepie, you can quickly write applications for the wiimote with minimal efort.  eg, here is a remote application for Windpws Media Centre.

//Calibrate your Wiimote!

//Place the Wiimote face up on a flat surface. Change these values until the

//debug line next to the run button shows zero for each axis.

var.xOffset = 4

var.yOffset = -31

var.zOffset = 6

//Set your Wiimote LEDs to your liking. Binary value, 1-15

var.leds = 6

wiimote.leds = var.leds

//Wait so a key isn't pressed millions of times a seccond!

wait 0.1

//Calibration Data

var.xRot = Wiimote.RawForceX + var.xOffset

var.yRot = Wiimote.RawForceY + var.yOffset

var.zRot = Wiimote.RawForceZ + var.zOffset

//

//Arrow keys

//

//Left

if wiimote.Left = true

   Left = true

   Left = False

endif

//Right

if Wiimote.Right = True

   right = true

   right = false

endif

//Up

if Wiimote.Up = true

   Up = true

   Up = false

endif

//Down

if wiimote.Down = true

   Down = true

   Down = false

endif

if wiimote.A = true then

    Enter = true

else

    Enter = False

endif

if wiimote.B = true

   Backspace = true

else

   Backspace = false

endif

//Play

if wiimote.2=true

   Ctrl+P=true

   Ctrl+P=false

endif

if wiimote.Home= true

   Backspace = true

   Backspace = true

   Backspace = true

   Backspace = true

   Backspace = true

else

   backspace = false

endif

if Wiimote.1 =true

   Alt+Enter = true

else

   Alt+Enter = false

endif

if (Wiimote.1 = true) + (Wiimote.2 = true)

   Alt+F4 = true

endif
