Wiimote Project

Hi everyone,

This is the first version of my Whiteboard Helper Program. The original source code is from Johny.
Remember to CONNECT your Wiimote first. The program doesn't have "Connect" feature yet.
Required: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en)

Hi guys,

I am new to wiimote and i would like to write an application like Johnny Whiteboard. I am looking at his source code BUT i am stuck at the UpdateTrackingUtilization() function. I have some questions about the code below:

        float UpdateTrackingUtilization()
        {
            //area of ideal calibration coordinates (to match the screen)
            float idealArea = (1 - 2*calibrationMargin) * 1024 * (1 - 2*calibrationMargin) * 768;
           
            //area of quadrliatera
            float actualArea = 0.5f * Math.Abs((srcX[1] - srcX[2]) * (srcY[0] - srcY[3]) - (srcX[0] - srcX[3]) * (srcY[1] - srcY[2]));
            float util = (actualArea / idealArea)*100;
            BeginInvoke((MethodInvoker)delegate() { lblTrackingUtil.Text = util.ToString("f0"); });
            BeginInvoke((MethodInvoker)delegate() { pbTrackingUtil.Value = (int)util; });

            return util;

        }

 Where did you get the formula for idealArea, actualArea and util???   Why do we need these variables? and What is BeginInvoke?

Thank you very much and sorry for these noob's questions.

 

Hi everyone,

1st of all, my English is not good. Its not my first language. I'll try to be as clear as I can.

I have been reading on the forum for a few days. I got amazed by Johnny Lee and his projects. I would like to set up a Whiteboard for my computer but i don't know if I am going the right way.
To get Whiteboard running, you have to have the following:

1. Make a connection between your computer and Wii Remote.
I am using Window 7 on my Desktop which doesnt have a Bluetooth. I have read that a lot of USB Bluetooth doesn't work with Window7. Can someone please tell me which USB Bluetooth I should buy and the software I need to make the connection?

2. You also need a IR Pen. I got this.

3. You need Wiimote such as Smoothboard or Massiveboard right?


By the way, Can we have a Newbie Section for new members?

Thank you very much,
