I could not connect my Wiimote to a Lenovo 3000 N100 using 'My Bluetooth Places' ~ 'View Devices in Range'. I failed to pair; 'Skip' had no effect.

However, with the standard stack and going via the "bluetooth Setup Wizard", using 'Skip' on the pairing worked. It is now doing at least most things right (checking using GlovePie)

This is utterly awesome. The next step is to have it work with the Xbox360 as an XNA component. Wait, it's not possible... Oh, that's pretty bad :/

Anyway, can't wait to see little XNA-powered Windows games that will use this neat piece of technology (because that should be possible, right?)

Thanks Brian!

For a moderately-skilled programmer like myself, having a simple to use library like this one is fabulous.

I created a [[ManagedWii]] topic on WiiLi wiki, it was a real shame for that community not to have any direct links back to this great work of yours for this beautiful little controller. I hope you don't mind...

Please, as soon as you can find the time, continue and finish implementing your other ideas for this library.

I'm developing an XNA game, and I'm planning to integrate the Wiimote on the PC at least, right alongside my 360 controller for the PC.

I used your Library for my PC / Wiimote Happy Slapper game. Thanks very much for that, it is a great piece of code.

I also took 2 more libraries from elsewhere (msbts, and wcbts) Widcomm and MS bluteooth stack drivers to try and incorporate connection from within your Library but the amount of code needed for both types of Bluetooth stack makes it a bit cumbersome to do nicely.

Hi everyone! Got a Problem!

Does someone know how to get this work on an Apple MacBook running Vista Business(native)?

I can connect my Wiimote via Bluetooth to my Mac with Vista running, but wenn I start the WiimoteTest

I will get an "Unhandled Exception" Error;

saying that wiimote maybe not be connected.

But if I continue to launch the WiimoteTest, the signal's when i press the Button's on the controller are recognized, but not the MotionSensor,Accelerator, BatteryStatus etc.

Any help would be great!

But when I used it under Windows Vista problems occured. When I use the standard Windows Bluetooth Software the code founds the Wiimote but I cannot communicate with it (not connected exception) and when I use the BlueSoleil Software the code dont even find the wiimote. However i can succesfull connect to the Wiimote with the BlueSoleil Software.

Any suggestions.

To everyone using the WiimoteLib:

Be careful not to use one Wiimote in multiple threads. The exceptions and error messages can get pretty messy.

You can, actually, edit the Connect() Method to support Multiple Wiimotes at once (next to the "Found!!!" debug message). These individual Wiimote objects can then indeed be used in seperate threads.

A big Dankeschön to Brian Peek for his libary at this position, it is a lot fun to play around with it :)

Brian -- great library! One problem though -- the nunchuck is not noticed by the sample program (or other programs I have written) unless you do one of two things: 1. Somewhere in the code there is a call to wm.GetBatteryLevel();, or 2. you disconnect and reconnect the nunchuck.... Try it in your example code above... comment the GetBatteryLevel in the Form1_Load routine, and see if the nunchuck is ready... It looks like there might not be a bit being flipped somewhere...

juan antonio — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 22:13:43 GMT

Hello, this is Juan Antonio, a telecomunication engineer student from Seville's University, in Spain.

I'm making my final career project. This is about using the Wiimote to different aplication, explaining the high capability of this device.

The main part is controling a Scorbot (a model of an academic manipulator robot) using the Wiimote. I have used your library so I would like to thank you your excellent work on it.

The next step was trying to incorporate the speaker funcionality that hasn't been added yet to your library. I have came to enable it and producing short or periodic sound using it, for example while pressing diferent buttons.

But the idea was to produce some record sound, for example a wave file. For example, imaging that you're controlling the robot, and you are moving it to some position. When the robot arrives, you can hear in the Wiimote's speaker: 'The robot has arrived'. This can be recorded in a .wav file.

In this way, i have added another class, WAVE CLASS, that opens the file, buffers it, and reads one piece of the buffer. The idea is that if a file has to be play, a flag is actived, and using a timer, speaker report by speaker report, filled with a piece of the wave file, is sent to the Wiimote.

It is very important to set the proper rate in the Wiimote, in the limits that Wiimote could, and the volume.

Although i have taken care of the rate and the speaker data format (i have tried the 8bitsPCM one) i haven't get good results.

I'm thinking that the problems is called Windows: Windows is the worst when we talk about real time (necesary in this case). Because i'm using the timer component, the problem is increased. It results in an strange noise which nobody can identify.

For that reason, I'm following periodically yor blog in order to test if you have added the speaker funcionallity.

Do you have the same problem? Have you get a solution?... Is the speaker funcionallity ready?

I wish you help me. Thank you very much,

Juan Antonio

I'd be careful about leaving your WiiMote installed laying around next to your computer. Not doing anything at all it mannaged to suck out 50% of my battery. I recommend uninstalling it or pulling out the batteries whenever you're done using it on the computer.

Excellent Library - thanks Brian. (Using Vista, .NET 2.0 and Dell XPS 1330 laptop with Dell Truemobile 355 + EDR and it works well) Found I have to completely remove the Wiimote as a device and reconnect from scratch after each run. Seems we need to close down the connection nicely somehow.

Interestingly, none of the other apps work (only the latest Library and test). Fine as I am playing with some of my own ideas - but would love to see what others have doen for real.

Awesome work Brian - many thanks !

While sniffing the sourcecode i ran into the routine SetLEDs() in wiimote.vb and looked and the long if..then..else.. construction for an 8 bit value. The following line actualy does the same trick:

Mbuff(1) = CByte((led1 * 16 And 16) Or (led2 * 32 And 32) Or (led3 * 64 And 64) Or (led4 * 128 And 128) Or GetRumbleBit())

Any ideas? The reason I ask is because I don't have my wiimote with me at the moment, but would be nice if I could get my hands dirty with some of this stuff until I get my hands on it.

yes i have try to connect 4 wiimote whit a function that return a list of wiimotes.

In the form I have duplicate the handler function new WiimoteChangedEventHandler(wm_WiimoteChanged#);

new WiimoteExtensionChangedEventHandler(wm_WiimoteExtensionChanged#);

where # is wiimote that i control.

But when i run the program it stay loading...

I have one question about de Wiimote's API. Can it use with commercial purpose?

I want to say if some enterprise use this API for develop something related with the wiimote like a game, if is posible to sell it to anorther enterprise.

I haven't find the license of this API.

thanks

Why does it seem like I have to go through the pairing everytime with the Wiimote. If I turn it off I can it disconnect from my Bluetooth devices. But when I turn it back on there is no reconnect. If I run the sample I get the message box about no Wiimote found in the HID Device list.

Hello, does any know where you stand from a legal point of view for developing software on the PC for use with the Nintendo Wii controllers, especially if the software is a subscription or paid for to the end user? I want to setup commercial/fun software using the fantastic Wii controllers and the Wii Balance Board but im unsure of how Nintendo would react with someone selling software to use with their patented/copyrighted/trademarked etc. etc. controllers??

re: Managed Library for Nintendo's Wiimote

Coding4Fun — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 01:15:00 GMT

@Gary: DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer. The EULA that comes with the controller should say if this would be deemed an abuse of their end user agreement.

With that said, my view point is their controller is just a tool. I view it like using an Xbox controller with a computer, it works, why not use it. The controller is a nice, off the shelf solution that does some really neat stuff.

They earn money from the sale of the controller, and none of their code has been reverse engineered or stolen. People have released applications using the controller, and to my knowledge, nothing bad has happened. With that said, I don’t know of anyone that has SOLD software that requires it.

My suggestion is read the EULA.

Brian this is some great stuff! Thank you very much for all your work. I am using your library now (and some of the WiimoteTest code, modified) in a little C# .NET application that records Wii remote motion along each axis while the B and/or A buttons are held down. It displays the acceleration in a little graph. That way you can graph a short motion (like swinging in Wii Sports Bowling), and practice copying that motion over and over... perfecting the same exact swing. Once I'm finished I'll provide a link, and definitely credit you for this very useful library!

re: Managed Library for Nintendo's Wiimote

OmegaThree — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 17:10:16 GMT

The key to finding a dongle-OS combination that works is to do research. Read all the reviews associated with Bluetooth devices you're interested in buying, and only buy if the reviews confirm that it works with your OS and stack. That's what I did with Vista x64 and the Azio BTD-V201. In less than five minutes I had two Wiimotes up and running.

Also, the code structure in WiimoteLib is kind of horrendous. It's mostly self-documenting, which is great, but then there are lines like this:

wm.SetLEDs(index++);

Incorporating two statements that are logically separate is extremely bad practice and makes code hard to read. It took me a while to figure out where you were incrementing the index variable. This is the last place I would have looked — in fact, it was the last place I looked!

But I'm nitpicking. This is an awesome find. Thanks for the hard work! I'll be reinventing most of your wheel so I can see how it works and restructure it how I like. This library forms an outstanding basis for that.

re: Managed Library for Nintendo's Wiimote

DarinHIggins — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 08:41:30 GMT

Fantastic library you've put together here. Works great, But I did have one question.

Actually, I see BermudaLamb already asked it but didn't get a response.

I'm noticing the same thing they noticed. Every time I want to work with it, I have to manually re-pair the wiimote to my PC, it won't automatically reconnect.

Is this just a limitation of bluetooth in general, or is there something special that needs to happen (or could it just be my BT dongle).

In all other respects, it works perfectly.

Thanks again!

Just for the interest of folks like Marcin, I've been able to wrap the managed c# dll in a mixed c++ dll (with a few changes to the code, to make it more accessable) which I can then use as a plugin for my native c++ application.

I don't really have the time to clean it up and post it at the moment, but I thought you'd like to know that it's perfectly possible.

If there's enough interest, I could put something together on what I've done so far, so that people can use it / finish it off.

Gary Jones — Wed, 27 May 2009 19:17:04 GMT

wererogue, I wanted to ask you how you went about creating your C++ dll. I know VC++ so wanted to do something similar on Windows. I want to be able to expose a C API for Java (JNI) so that I can use it in Java as the Java APIs are not that good.

I know wiiuse has a library but it is nowhere near as mature as this code.

Would appreciate some guidance (or a copy of your code). Once I put a Java wrapper around i I will share it with everyone else.

re: Managed Library for Nintendo's Wiimote

Coding4Fun — Wed, 27 May 2009 19:52:33 GMT

Gary Jones — Thu, 28 May 2009 12:26:33 GMT

@Coding4Fun - Yeah, had a look at these. They don't seem to have what I am looking for.

It's specifically the IR detection on Windows using Java that I am looking for and the ones that exist that will do this (blucove, bluesock) do not support either the dongle or the built in Toshiba bluetooth Adapter that I have. This is a general issue with these implementations.

This is where I started looking at WiiRemoteLib and how to wrap it up in JNI which @wererogue has taken the first steps towards.

Okay i have been using the Wii library very successfully in many of my programs as a mouse and/or controller. using the library is not my problem its just annoying me that i have to keep the wiimote flat in order to have the mouse move correctly. i would like some help with trying to make the curser point straight in front of the remote as it does on the wii no matter the rotation of the remote. any help would greatly appreciated. Its not a big deal but it would be cool if it worked.

Thanks to whoever helps me.

re: Managed Library for Nintendo's Wiimote

Coding4Fun — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 08:22:48 GMT

@Shane, one of the easiest ways to do this is to simply use a single IR point. You only need 2 or the midpoint if you want rotation. In your case you just want the x/y position, so just use a single IR source as your pointer position.

re: Managed Library for Nintendo's Wiimote

BauerMECH — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 14:48:02 GMT

Ikneedaname - If you're running Windows 7 you can simply use the generic win driver for Bluetooth... you'll be given the option to pair w/o passkey. Do not install the manufacturer's drivers for your dongle. Hope that helps.
