Hi, I'm at the University of Teesside, up in Middlesbrough. Just coming to the end of my final year now. It's good, particularly if it's programming you're wanting to do. If you drop me an email / private message I'd happily talk with you some more about it.
What aspect of games development are you interested in? Code/Art/Design/etc...?

What uni are you at? Teatil?
Also what course are you doing? I'm hoping to do a computer games development course yah see

Well I ended up finding a belkin one, installed the driver, it detected the wiimote, all good so far, except when I want to connect, it asks me for a PIN for the connection (and refuses to connect if I give it a dummy one).
Ideas ?

What, you don't finish it in one day ? Hehe :-p

Hehe, yes it is - extra dry, I believe. Scary how much of that bottle was consumed over the four days I worked on WiiAction...

Cool... though before you start buying equipment please bear in mind that I chose the Belkin/WIDCOMM solution largely because I liked the API WIDCOMM supply. I don't think it's compatible with other Wii Remote - based projects like GlovePIE (Though I could be wrong, I haven't tested). If you're going to be coding your own Wiimote project, I'd highly recommend WIDCOMM, but if you're wanting to use other people's it might not be the best choice...

Btw is that Martini I see in the background ? Good pick :-)

Aw I feared that: I installed the WIDCOMM stack, but for some reason it doesn't detect the built-in bluetooth hardware of the notebook.
Thanks for the help, I'll check if I can get a belkin dongle, might work better.

Hey - I'm afraid I can't help you there; I used the WIDCOMM stack as is native to the Belkin bluetooth dongle I was using.
I did try it quickly with BlueSoleil, to test it, and found similar results - it was detected and picked up, and I could even see some packets were being sent across, but I couldn't get access. My guess is that this is because it's doesn't perfectly meet the HID standard. I didn't spend too long with BlueSoleil, when I had it working with WIDCOMM.

How do you get it to connect via BlueSoleil ?
I get it in the list refresh the service to conenct to HID, which seems to works fine (it turns green and have that animation where it sends data from the wiimore to the computer), but the LEDs won't stop blinking (until manually disconnecting from BS), yet no program detect it (GlovePIE and the others).
A video of that part would be great help to see at which moment I get it wrong. |
