we finally got everything working way back before thanksgiving and boy was it cool, however back on topic. even though i don't need to build my own ir pen i would like to. i have the ir LED but i need the resistor (specificaly one with 3.3ohms) there arn't many electro stores around where i live so if some one could put me onto a site that would be great. I checked the ir calculater page and i couldn't find what i need but maybe i missed it
SOMETHING I THOUGHT WAS COOL: you can use conventional SMARTBOARD software with the wiimote, like the highlighter and pens wich you can use on the desktop or any other site or page. 

THANKS IN ADVANCE
