Hi,

I have made some test with my multimeter... and it appear that the wiimote consume 0.05A in connecting mode and 0.08A in WiimoteWhiteboard connected and funtionnal mode...

If I use the Volts x Amps = Watts  rules:

3.0v x 0.08a = 0.24watts

here is my question: Why everyone tell that we need an 3v 1amp plugins transformer for 1 wiimote since the wiimote seem to not consume more than 250mw?

I look to power 2 wiimote from the same plugin transformer so if 1A/wiimote is really require the cost of a 3v 2amp is more that 3 time the cost of a 1a one

Did him wrong somewhere?

ps. Sorry for my english...

Because that is a common transformer and conforms with the Wiimotes maximum capabilities. I have no doubt you can use less but it won't be a mass produced solution.

Did a completed wiimote specsheet exist? or where I can find power consumption min/max of a wiimote...

If I use glovepie (or any other Software solution) and start rumble, the speaker and shake the wiimote.... did you think I can acheived max consumption or did I miss something?
