Title: MOUNTING Post by: oliverhowden on July 28, 2008, 06:50:54 AM Hey everyone.
Im making the whiteboards for my school. and i dont know how to make a professional looking mounting bracking? I was thinking i could mount a docking charger so it would charge the mote at the same time? Any ideas.. Thanks.

I applied some double sticky tape to the lid for the batteries and attached a metal plate. The neodymium magnet is super strong and gladly mounts to vents/ducts, metal on lamps, shelves and so on ;) Another magnet holds the small and adjustable tripod to the fridge and a piece of paper protects from scratches... An telescopic rod can be used to reach the ceiling or hard to reach vents... Title: Re: MOUNTING Post by: oliverhowden on July 29, 2008, 02:14:18 AM Thanks for that :D
I Need something that i can duplicate for about 10 different rooms. so i dont want a camera tripod hanging from the roof :P Im getting paid for this so i want a good job. Any ideas on the docking charger Idea? and also, How would i be able to press the buttons (power, 1+2) on the controller without taking it down everytime! Thanks.

Whats that called tho? because i can't find the same thing on ebay or other sites? What is that kind of thing called? Thank you! Title: Re: MOUNTING Post by: oliverhowden on August 01, 2008, 08:45:13 PM Anyone know?
because i can't find it anywhere. and i want to wiimotes to go up on monday if possible. I'm thinking of just putting a USB hub up there and a wii mote charger. Idea's! Thanks Title: Re: MOUNTING Post by: UndCon on August 02, 2008, 04:21:39 AM I would go for something external like an adjustable adapter.
(http://www.clasohlson.se/Archive/images/products/S/Hi/321063_X_2004-06-30_121110.jpg) This version is adjustable - and you can easily extend the cabling to suit your needs and get a "pro" installation. Also allows for remote powerbutton :) If you use a cable with 4 leads in it to as extension you can solder 1 pair to the pairing button and mount it on the wall somewhere close to the poweradaptor or so... //UndCon Title: Re: MOUNTING Post by: oliverhowden on August 07, 2008, 05:23:15 AM Thanks Heaps!
I'll get one of those power adaptors. Is it 5v or 3v? and what mh? Thank you everyone. Momentary 433MHz RF receivers will be here soon :) Title: Re: MOUNTING Post by: micbridge on March 08, 2009, 01:59:01 PM You might want to check out my post on universal wiimote mounts. Here are a couple of simple ways that look really clean to mount your wiimotes, yet not mar the surfaces you mount them to.
