Hacking WiiMote as Mouse.

[ZeWarrior]

Who else thinks it's fun to use the Wii mote as a Bluetooth mouse on a Mac? Kinda hard but hey with a little practice I'm good :\

 

[pinesal]

Doesn't the mac version use the sensor bar? I hope they make a windows version that does.

 

[ZeWarrior]

Nope it uses Bluetooth The Sensor bar would be kinda awkward.

 

[pinesal]

Actually, the sensor bar would make it work 100x better than the gyros,

 

[ZeWarrior]

One problem though. How would we connect it

 

[shiftybill]

umm bluetooth?

or do u mean teh sensor bar?

 

[pinesal]

You just connect the sensor bar to the Wii. All that bar is, is two lights the only thing it needs to work is power.

 

[ZeWarrior]

No really I mean Bluetooth. When I say Mouse I meant mouse on my Macbook Computer. The Sensor Bar wouldn't work >.

Glovepie users, this is what I use sometimes. It's a wiimote+ nunckuck setup that's nice for web browsing but not precise stuff like photoshop.

CODE//Use the A-stick as a mouse!
//Hold C for slow! Z for fast!
//Crap script by Heran Bago
var.x = 0.020*Wiimote1.Nunchuk.JoyX
var.y = 0.025*Wiimote1.Nunchuk.JoyY
if Wiimote1.Nunchuk.CButton
var.x = var.x/2.5
var.y = var.y/2.5
endif
if Wiimote1.Nunchuk.ZButton
var.x = var.x*2.5
var.y = var.y*2.5
endif
if Wiimote1.Nunchuk.JoyX > 0.5
mouse.x = mouse.x + var.x
elseif Wiimote1.Nunchuk.JoyX < -0.5
mouse.x = mouse.x + var.x
endif
if Wiimote1.Nunchuk.JoyY > 0.5
mouse.y = mouse.y + var.y
elseif Wiimote1.Nunchuk.JoyY < -0.5
mouse.y = mouse.y + var.y
endif
//Home and End
Key.Home = Wiimote1.One + Wiimote1.Nunchuk.CButton
Key.End = Wiimote1.Two + Wiimote1.Nunchuk.CButton
//Clickin'
Mouse.LeftButton = Wiimote1.A
Mouse.RightButton = Wiimote1.B
//WASD
Keyboard.W and Keyboard.Up = Wiimote1.Up
Keyboard.S and Keyboard.Down = Wiimote1.Down
Keyboard.A and Keyboard.Left = Wiimote1.Left
Keyboard.D and Keyboard.Right = Wiimote1.Right
//Key assignments. Feel Free to change
Keyboard.Esc = Wiimote1.Home
Keyboard.PageUp = Wiimote1.One
Keyboard.pagedown = Wiimote1.Two
Key.VolumeUp = Wiimote1.Plus
Key.VolumeDown = Wiimote1.Minus
//Controls LEDs
if Wiimote1.A or Wiimote1.B
Wiimote1.Led1 = 1
wait 500 ms
Wiimote1.Led2 = 1
wait 500 ms
Wiimote1.Led3 = 1
wait 500 ms
Wiimote1.Led4 = 1
wait 500 ms
endif
if Wiimote1.A = 0 and Wiimote1.B = 0
Wiimote1.Led1 = 0
Wiimote1.Led2 = 0
Wiimote1.Led3 = 0
Wiimote1.Led4 = 0
endif

The sensor bar DOES work as a mouse on PC/Mac you just gotta find the right driver.

 

[Lukeage]

My PC monitor is also my TV monitor (24" lcd) so the sensor bar is always on top of my screen anyway. All you need it a cheap usb bluetooth adapter and off you go.

Can't say I've used it much since buying a 360 controller for my PC though.

 

[lowbelly]

yeah i use darwiin .5 with the sensor bar. it works great but too sensitive for extended use. my gyration is a much better solution.


yeah and you have to leave your wii on so the sensor bar gets power.

 

[looneyboy784]

my gyration is a much better solution.

I may be incredibly immature but LOL

 

[lowbelly]

...have you tried double clicking an icon with a wiimote? it's almost impossible to click and not drag the thing inadvertently.

 

[ZeWarrior]

I agree though. It's very hard to double-click with a wii mote, it always drags :\
