Wiimote Interactive Whiteboard / Powering on/Syncing Wiimote
« on: March 06, 2009, 03:40:24 PM »
I currently have a classroom I am pilot testing Smoothboard with a Wiimote attached to a telescoping mount from the ceiling. My setup is working great, but the problem I am having is that I have to add the Wiimote as a bluetooth device everytime after I reboot the computer or change batteries.
It is easy for me to do this, but I have a feeling that my teachers will not use the Wii Whiteboard if they have to hold the 1 and 2 buttons and go through the bluetooth add wizard all the time. I typically have to remove the existing wiimote and re-add it once the wiimote has shut off.
Is there a way to turn on the Wiimote or keep it always on when it doesn't have a bluetooth connection? The only way I know how to turn it on is by running the add device to the bluetooth list wizard. Is there another way? Am I missing something?
I have ordered the rechargable USB battery pack from Penteractive and I am hoping that this will keep my Wiimote always on. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
