This program was developed for the Wiimote (Nintendo Wii remote controller) with a PC for use with PowerPoint presentations, timing, mouse control, media control and can be used with one or two screens.
You will need:
- PC with MS Windows
- Microsoft .NET 3.5
- Bluetooth (it must be compatible with the Wiimote)
- Infrared source (lit candle or IR LED, only required for pointer function)
I had set the B button to enable momentary mouse control. In the video the wiimote infrared camera only controls the mouse while I am pressing the B button.
Getting your Wiimote to connect to your PC can be difficult with different PCs. My Samsung X25 laptop (with built in bluetooth) had no problems, other bluetooth interfaces are different. If it doesn't work for you please try a Google search for "connect wiimote PC". There is plenty of information out there about connecting a wiimote to a PC, but it may not be a simple process.
I don't actually own any gaming console, I just purchased the handheld controller after seeing what it can do in Johnny Lee's impressive video.
If you find any bugs, please give a detailed description so it can be fixed.
To run the program, extract the zip file and run the file WiimotePresenter.exe. You will need .NET 3.5 and a compatible Bluetooth connection.
