Wiimote Project

yes its possible
this guy did it

but he is from thailand and i donīt understand any word

i have got a simple idea to realize a finger tracking mouse with glovepie



the yellow circles are leds.
the led 1 is allways on and moves the mousecursor
the led 2 is the "left mouse button", and glow if thumb and forefiner touching
the led 3 is the "right mouse button" and glow if thumb and forefiner and middle finger touching

there is the script for glovepie
// Wiimote mouse script for Windows desktop
// Requires a sensor bar

var.ButtonFreezeTime = 250ms
var.PointerBump = KeepDown(Pressed(wiimote.A),var.ButtonFreezeTime) or KeepDown(Pressed(wiimote.B),var.ButtonFreezeTime)
Wiimote.Led1 = true

// Mouse movement
if wiimote.PointerVisible but not var.PointerBump then
  mouse.x = wiimote.PointerX
  mouse.y = wiimote.PointerY
end if

// Mouse Buttons
mouse.LeftButton = wiimote1.dot1vis + wiimote1.dot2vis
mouse.RightButton = wiimote1.dot1vis + wiimote1.dot3vis
mouse.MiddleButton = Wiimote.Home and KeepDown(Wiimote.PointerVisible,0.5s)
mouse.XButton1 = Wiimote.Minus
mouse.XButton2 = Wiimote.Plus

// Mouse Wheel
if wiimote.Up then
  mouse.WheelUp = true
  wait 30ms
  mouse.WheelUp = false
  wait 30ms
end if
if wiimote.Down then
  mouse.WheelDown = true
  wait 30ms
  mouse.WheelDown = false
  wait 30ms
end if


How do you turn the LEDs on your fingers on and off?

thisisjon to turn off the power totally just purchase a switch ant throw it on there between the battery and the negative side. Then follow the diagram to make sure the other two leds aren't on all the time. Then make some sort of contact switch when you touch one finger to the other it will complete the current.

Now i do have a question on that code posted above how do i implement this and get it running on my computer?

I just ordered all the stuff from mouser and will make the glove like the diagrams. If i use 3 Leds i should  be okay with a AAA battery as far as current goes right? I don't need  any resistors or anything?

I am also going to try to come up with a better way of doing that contact switch instead of just having exposed wires everywhere on my pointer finder.

ilpaina,

I want to put it in front of me, but I need to invert the Y axis and I don't know how.
Managing the wiimote calibration I fixed the Y axis but I also inverted the X axis, even putting the wiimote on the wrong side in calibration...clues?

I had the same problem.  In my case it could be solved by placing a mirror at 45degree in front of a vertically mounted wiimote.  I hope SW developers to include simple option to deal with it.
