Thanks so very much for your help. I may not exactly know, what is wrong right now, but I was just too puzzled how close I have to put that remote to the screen. I keep you posted, if anything comes up concerning these problems.
Hi Martin,In Smoothboard, you can use the calibration guide to see how to adjust the Wiimote to get the optimum viewing.About 40% should be fine.
At what angle are you placing the Wiimote?
I noticed that you are using a TV set. From my experience, using a large glass/reflective LCD screen or even CRT screen may reduce the sensitivity of the detection of the IR pen.For this screens, I will recommend to place the Wiimote at a more acute angle towards the screen so that the Wiimote will be able to capture the side of the IR pen when clicked. This will cause a reduction of the tracking utilization but because of the smaller size of the screen (compared to a large projected screen), the effectiveness of the setup should be sufficient.
You should also check your IR pen to ensure that the emitted infrared is bright enough to be detected. To do so, you can check with your mobile phone camera.

Most sources say you have to get between 50% and 75%. But if you say, 40% it is, then I am fine with it.Quote from: boonjin on July 09, 2009, 06:17:22 AMAt what angle are you placing the Wiimote?I pointed the wiimote directly at right angle towards the TV set. However, I have no idea how to do this with a real presentation, using a projector. As you can imagine, in that context I cannot place the wiimote 1.5 metres in front of a wall.Quote from: boonjin on July 09, 2009, 06:17:22 AMI noticed that you are using a TV set.

Is there a way to toggle the floating toolbar with the second wiimote?
