Wiimote Project

Here are the pens I made:

Pen 1:

I bodged this together to test the whiteboard. Just stuck a IRled in the end of a maglite type thing.

Pen 2:

Bought all the workings from Maplins for a couple of quid. The case was made out of a ShakePop sweet holder. Works very well and the shape makes it comfortable to grip.

Pen 3:

The spraycan! Made the same way as pen 2, but the switch is attatched to the spray head which houses the IRled. I used two hair wax containers to make the can (don't try and use a real spray can, it'll blow up in your face(disclaimer for idiots)).
This works great, it feels like you're using a real spray can. I did a bit of graffiti art in photoshop and I was quite impressed with the results (video to follow).

Hi! Great! I have made one from a real Montana can a short while ago.
-Your (disclaimer for idiots) will not function  .
I have a problem with  sound. I would like to hear a constanly Pfffff! or aerosol sound
with the left mouse click (Programms like "Sounding Keyboard and Mouse" don't work
constanly)
You can try to integrate the sound into the can but that's little expensively.
Can you help me?
Thanks -and sorry for my english.

I was just speaking to a teacher about how the IR-Pen can be a design and technology project this is exactly the evidence I need!

What we need now is a graffitti painting application!

You can buy gift cards that you record a message in. When you open the card the recorded message plays. Rip out the electronicsm, record a spray can in action and wire to your switch.

Thanks benpaddlejones.
This one plays constanly but it's 79.95 EUR 
Do gift cards play constanly?
Oh- And there is Graffiti Studio 2 but didn't work for me 

Thanks benpaddlejones!
Yep- Graffiti Studio 2 works fine with  Boonjin's Smoothboard.
I tryed a gift card and it didn't loop. No chance to integrate the sound into the can 
I think sound should be integrated into the wiimote software. With Java it should be
possible- There are routines for looping sound with a mouse click. I know some
application programmers have issues with sound, but I think its a chance to show how
smart wiimote whiteboard is 

Thanks Katkind

I have spend a while trying to find an application thta will do this. The closest I could find is 'Noisy Mouse' http://www.leeos.com/noisy_mouse.html by a programmer called  Lior Ostrowsky who writes a range of really cool freeware applications.

However it only makes a noise on click pres, not click hold. I have sent him an email and hope he may be able to help us. I will keep you in touch.
