Wiimote Project

alseluva,

    Thank you very much for your question.  A few questions and then I'll make sure to include some steps you could take right away.

What Bluetooth Stack are you using?  
Did you remove any previously installed bluetooth stacks before installing the cubix adapter?

   It is highly recommended that you use the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack and use smoothconnect in Smoothboard.  Alternatively, your cubix bluetooth adapter can also use the Toshiba Bluetooth stack and many users find this experience to be the best way to connect everyday.  Please see the following url if you wish to use the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack for reliable connections (please note: if using a Wii Remote Plus, the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack is required):  http://www.smoothboard.net/wiiremoteplus/

   Your particular situation may be best solved with access to the Smoothboard User Guide.  You can find the user guide at the following url: http://www.smoothboard.org/manual/    Please note that your issue can be found under Chapter 7 section 4 (7.4).  

   If this post was not helpful to you or you have more questions, please feel free and email us at [email protected] or Smoothboard at [email protected]

Thanks again,

Wireless Remote Sync Accessory from Teachwithtech.com

This new addition to our lineup offers a non wired option for remotely syncing your wii remote. It offers the same features of our wired remote sync accessory, but uses a wireless rf (radio frequency) remote to put the wii remote into discovery mode.

This setup also solves a few problems with previous products that are controlled via an rf signal.

#1:  Limited Frequencies:  Many of the rf products you will see only have one or two frequencies.  This means that if a school were to purchase more than one, it is entirely possible and probable that users could without knowledge be turning off and on another colleague's wii remote.  This is because the unit uses an rf signal which goes through walls up from anywhere from 30-100 feet.  Our setup allows for 16 different frequencies to be programmed and can be widely implemented in schools.

#2: Not expandable: Many of the other rf products come with the ability to only turn on 1 wii remote at a time.  Our unit can be expanded to accommodate any number (up to 16 depending on the remote you choose) of wii remotes or lamps.  There is no reason to have to buy a whole new unit to have the ability to control more than one wii remote or lamp at a time.

Wireless Remote Sync to come soon.
[/list]

Thank you mystre. It looks like they do have a wireless option for remotely syncing to the wii remote.  This is one of the methods we are currently testing as well. We are also testing a wired method for those who would like a wired pushbutton option.

If you are looking for a long term option for power and remote syncing, the battery pack above is not for you.  Please purchase from wiijiiboard as they do have this option available now.  However, we are working on making both a wired and a wireless option available. We will post a video soon as a preview to the methods we hope to use for remote syncing.

Thanks again mystre for your post!

Thanks Joe!

Sounds like we've been on a similar track in trying to find a permanent cost effective solution for the remote syncing option. We have been testing several methods and we hope to have a remote syncing option available within a few months. I look forward to your post in the future.
