I was wondering about using a second wiimote as an IR pen. You could attach an IR LED to it, and then you get full functionality with the accelerometers, (tilt) all of the input buttons etc. I see that smoothboard supports a second wiimote, might give it a go this weekend.

It works a treat! Having all of the buttons available right there on the 'pen' is so handy. I'm hopeful that the applications could use the tilt data to have realistic brush-strokes in apps like photoshop and artrage. Going to see if I can gut the 2nd wiimote and put it in a new case to make it a bit smaller, but all in all I'm very happy with it.

Hi,

Glad to hear that Smoothboard is able to fulfill your needs for the second Wiimote. Smiley

At the moment, I have not found a way yet to simulate a pressure sensitive tablet. The closest you can do with Smoothboard and Photoshop together is setting keyboard shortcuts to change the brush size discretely.

I'm wondering if smoothboard could support the nunchuck?
It has the analogue stick, and a wireless nunchuck could be converted to a pen, and the pressure sensitivity could be mapped to one of the analogue directions. This would allow us to build a pressure sensitive tip and have all the functionality we desired via the nunchuck buttons for left and right mouse click etc.
