Forums - Nintendo - Finally got Bluetooth adaptor working with Wiimotes!

Looks liek teh 3rd tiem is the charm. I had recently tried a few different USB blootooth adaptors in teh effort to get my Wiimotes recognized on my PC, this last one I now have working just great.

It's the Kensignton Bluetooth USB micro adaptor, the one that only sticks out all of a 1/4 of an inch.

I must say, it works great. It recognized my Wiimotes almost immediately, and it barely is noticable, so I've got no worries about the dongle getting broken or anything. It cost me abotu $40, but I'm satisfied with my purchase.

 

So who else has been using bluetooth to get their wiimotes to talk with their PC or laptop? Also, does anyone know of any programs that work reasonably besides Glovepie? I like the setup, but the blatent political agenda just feels insulting.

I've been using this for a while. Got a cheap chinese knockoff bluetooth adapter off ebay for AU$8.

Unfortunately, none of the other options are as flexible as glovepie. There is an open source attempt called OpenPIE in the works, but I've no idea if that will ever see the light of day.



I'm good with java and c++, which is what a lot of this stuff looks like, but I've heard the very base code is based on perl or something. Maybe now that I've got the Wiimotes recognized, I'll be able to work on writing my own programs for it.
