Wiimote Project

Now I am looking for good software programs to run with this technology.

When playing around with it, I've just been using MS Paint, which is ok...but a little difficult for students to read because my handwriting looks like that of a 5 year old.  Is there better programs out there that I can use?  If so, any and all information on them would be greatly appreciated.

Oh yea?  I'm in Davison (east of Flint).....Small world...  The micro adapter you were talking about...did you get that from Penteractive ?

Penteractive.us sells a Micro Bluetooth Adapter and if there was never any other bluetooth software installed on the computer, XP installs it perfectly using the Silicon Wave drivers.



We've sold hundreds of these with little difficulty. They also work in Linux (Ubuntu 8.04+).

WOW! great site!  So to get this mini usb bluetooth adapter to connect to my wii remote, I just plug it into the computer....windows plug and play locates the correct drivers for me...I install them and then my wii remote will connect to my computer?....

I returned my Rocketfish Bluetooth adapter to Best Buy last night.

Therefore, now I am in need of a bluetooth USB adapter....One that is going to work without too much tweaking.

Any links or information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

No I don't...sorry.  I think things got messed up when I installed the software that came with the adapter and then uninstalled it.  I'm going to check it out at school/work, which is where I need it to connect anyways.  Now that I know what i'm doing, I'll try that first.

If you have any other ideas, I would be interested in hearing them though...

Yes.  Widcomm is no longer in my Add/Remove Programs....

Do I need to remove it a different way?

What should I do next?

Here is a screen shot of my bth.inf file.

Ok.  Here are the steps that I have taken.  I haven't gotten my wii remote to sync with my computer at all...(not even once).

1. Installed the CD that came with my Rocketfish USB bluetooth adapter.  The adapter was able to see that I had a remote in the room, but the blue lights on the remote would never stay on....they would just flash and then turn off.

2. I then began looking online and saw that several people were having the same problem.  It seemed that everyone was saying DO NOT use the installation cd with this specific bluetooth adapter, therefore, I un-installed it.

3. I then found my way to this website and after looking around for awhile, I found this thread http://www.wiimoteproject.com/bluetooth-and-connectivity-help-center/'no-wiimotes-found-in-hid-device-list'-error-for-boon-jin's-smoothboard/msg5865/
This guy sounds EXACTLY like me....but still couldn't get the wii remote to sync.  I tried running Thex's auto connect program, but it seemed to no do anything.

4.  I read a thread about this http://www.shootingsoftware.com/Widcomm.htm .  I found the bth file, as shown in my previous post screen shot and added the line as described.  However, I don't think I got the correct hardware ID.  Looking at my device manager, I do not see a generic USB place as people are describing.  This is what i'm working with (Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 btw)



BEN,
I right clicked on the Broadcom place at the top of my device manager and went to UNINSTALL DRIVERS, but whenever I plug the usb adapter back in, the Broadcom thing shows up again in Device Manager.

More details on what and where to uninstall would be greatly appreciated.
