iPhone WiiMote OpenGL-ES Demo

[flyb3]

Can you share your source? I'd love to build on this!

[joedajoester]

I got it but it only rotates sideways not up and down why?

[thisismeandifeelgood]

HOW COME UR IN AIRPLANE MODE AND THERE'S NO BLUETOOTH ICON????

[fizzlefofizzle]

I want to know how to use my iphone as the controller for the wii

[bwillwall]

I developer should make something like this for 2 player tilt games on 1 device

[skateridis]

cool :D

[Pacess]

Really COOL~

Could you please tell me the related URL about BlueTooth connection? Thanks!

[strider196]

Amazing

[mog123noblog]

I'd like to interface the Wiimote to an avr using a BTM-222 chip, do you think it's doable?

[mringwal]

@mog123noblog sorry that"s not possible. BTM-222 uses RFCOMM, WiiMote requires an L2CAP connection to implement HID profile.

[mog123noblog]

SO, do you any solution to interface a WiiMote or a PS3 controller to a ATmega?

[greatrat00]

the tutorial by simon maurice seems to be down... do you know where I can find it?

[mringwal]

@greatrat00 sorry to hear that. if you find it, please post here so I can update the video description.

[CarmellaWelkes8]

meehcan somebody rescue mehh from my loneliness really bored today

[AlphaFalconX]

I can only tilt the virtual Wiimote side to side and not up and down like in the video, Mattias.

[mringwal]

see Comment 3 months ago: The demo corresponds to Part 2 of this video. In the first video the rotation is +/- 90 degrees. If turned more it is not correct. I wanted a complete rotation but could not get two axis correctly. If someone has equations for the 2-axis turn, I'll fix it. The ones on the Wiili and Wiibrew are not correct.

[SpiroEx]

lododeco - it's a proof of concept.

On it's own the wiimote connecting to the iPhone has no great application. When you can hold an iPhone in your hand. But think about attaching your iPhone to your telly via Apple's video cables. NOW does a Wiimote make sense? As I said this is just a proof of concept. It proves it's possible to control an iPhone with a wiimote.

[lododeco]

Curious, but useless

[ISkateOnForMyCity]

@lododeco until you use it with snes and nes!

[lododeco]

oh, cool

[L30k]

why cant i tilt up when i do it, only side to side

[tomfoolery57]

yeh same here!

[DeanNotDin]

SWEEET!!

[RHCPThom]

Can you really play with it or is it just a 3D demo kinda thing?

[cmufan]

Does the Classic Controller work too?

[mringwal]

The demo only uses the accelerometer of the WiiMote, independent of an attached secondary controller.

[sevensix29]

To Be Able to Make a Wii Emulator for The iPhone Using This Technology Would Be a Dream to Use But a Nightmare to make.

[mringwal]

have a look at my "iPhone Car Racing with Bluetooth Zeemote Joystick". There, I "only" had to patch the accelerometer for the steering and simulate touches to use gas and breaks.

[Shadow1643]

Wow. Just because of this, I'm going to get a Mac so I can hack and compile code for this. I've been interested in Bluetooth on the iPhone for a long time, but no one ever could make a good enough Bluetooth stack. But this looks like GREAT code. Wouldn't it be amazing if you could use your device AS a Wiimote? (minus the IR, of course)

[mringwal]

Thanks!

Might be a bit limited without the IR (although you've got a camera on the iPhone don't you ?:)

[Shadow1643]

Hm. That would be awesome to try and implement something of the sort, but maybe the iPhone could connect to the Wiimote (for the IR) AND the Wii? Even though that's probably not possible... :P

[Millhouse013]

weird. I downloaded the demo, and the app only shows activity in one direction ("rolling" the wiimote)... is this a temporary bug because of a SVN change, or does it have something to do with the fact that I live in Europe (although I doubt Nintendo would change the way acceleration is handled based on /regions/)

[mringwal]

Nope. The demo corresponds to Part 2 of this video. In the first video the rotation is +/- 90 degrees. If turned more it is not correct. I wanted a complete rotation but could not get two axis correctly. If someone has equations for the 2-axis turn, I'll fix it. The ones on the Wiili and Wiibrew are not correct.

[itotrokhard419]

thats fucking sick, would this work on ipod touch 2g 3.0 as this has bluetooth now???

a ps3 controller, would that work aswell.

[mringwal]

the demo works on all iPod touch with Bluetooth. The PS3 controller won't work (that would be odd, wouldn't it? :)

[playingxboxtoday]

Wow, that's pretty cool that you were able to get that working. Does your project allow the 2G to use the peer to peer protocols that the 3G and 3GS have? Also is stereo audio over bluetooth possible to implement? That's one of the things I'm looking for a mod to do so i dont have to buy a new phone.

[mringwal]

Didn't know peer-to-peer is not supported on 2G :( Apple's Peer-to-peer uses standard PAN/BNEP protocols that can be implemented, but uses a special "pairing" sequence. I don't now if it is complicated (as in "using real crypto"). Similar, stereo audio over bluetooth should be possible too, but one would have to integrate it with the system. We'll see. :)

[playingxboxtoday]

thanks for replying :)

You really seem to know your stuff! I'll definitely keep an eye out on your project, and let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

[pirosoffaireyes]

we need ps3 controller on iphone to paly games!! someone make a bluetooth driver the guys who been making the control pad for it!!! It would be lot easier tahn build that thing that plugs into the port. Please someone XD!! That would be the perfect solution

[greenday24705]

u hacking nooob or is this an actual app?

[Behemoth2334]

Don't say "noob"

I fucking hate that

And yes, it's real

It's not an app though.

[si69j22]

Cool, but what's the point?

[Behemoth2334]

The point is that....it's possible LoL

[bretikur]

Ha ha! Cool.

I'm not so found of the iPhone but the Wiimote is just my thing ;)

[mringwal]

we hope so. :)

[Funkboy1234]

Will this become an app so people who aren't good with hacking can use a wiimote with our iPod touch 2g's and iPhones?

[mikeeey1337]

nokia phones can do this too. But I wish it was a ps3 controller instead.. ps3 controller just has a better layout (and more buttons), plus, it has an accelerometer.

[BoboVicus]

Stop jacking your ps3, it'll die soon anyways.

[mikeeey1337]

not sure what you mean by jacking, but I think it's cool they can do this with the Wiimote. but I'm saying it would be even better if you could use a ps3 contoller (I mean come on.. it's shaped as a gaming controller, the Wii controller doesn't have as many buttons.)

my ps3 has lived through 3 of my xbox 360's deaths, and it's still running great. We keep them next to eachother, with lots of ventilation

I've been playing with the Wiimote on my Nokia n82, I like it so far..

[ciberboy50]

same but my xbox only cost £30 and its been living for 3 years because my friend never played it after he bought it he played it for a while and gave up XD ps3 awsem xbox is to if it didnt have a RROD i hate that why did they make that RROD i hope in 2012 they fix it

[MMassyrian519]

HLY SHIT HLY SHIT HLY SHIT!!!!! pleaaasee dude tell me how to do this??????????????

[1psful]

what is this music?

[CompC76]

I'm not too interested in the Wiimote's accelerometer being used on the iPhone. I would love to use the Wiimote as a controller for gpSPhone. It would be so much easier than pressing the buttons on screen.

[mringwal]

Will work on that... that's similar to my Car Racing video. stay tuned. :)

[mcanizar]

is it possible with the BTstack project, to send or control something with the iphone? for example a robot with a bluetooth connection, and send orders from the iPhone to move?

[mringwal]

Sure. Right now the robot needs support for the basic L2CAP protocol. Most hobbyist use a ready to use Bluetooth Serial-to-Bluetooth module which uses the RFCOMM which is not implemented yet. But this will come, too.

[weinerschnitzelboy]

Bluetooth

[starcraft2zergfan]

So, are you going to make this app public? I'm not a developer, so that means I don't know how to code and program. I do want to try this out though.

[mringwal]

Maybe. :O) The underlying Bluetooth Stack needs to be ready for general use first. It won't be much work then. If you're really interested in this demo, ping me after BTstack has been released on Cydia (when? don't know :).

[starcraft2zergfan]

okay :)

[sexianorexilexi]

Is that a Simian Mobile Disco remix I hear in the background? =P

[05murphym]

you could use this as a controller for emulators

[DiemetriX]

Perfect for Emulators :D

[chaska90]

The bluetooth icon isn't in the toolbar, isn't this a fake?

If it's real, could you throw this into Cydia for others to see and play with?

[mringwal]

Between fake and Cydia, there is a huge space. Simply put you make a video when you have something you would like show but it's not finished. Here, e.g., the MAC-address of the WiiMote is hard-code, a nice GUI would be needed. Anyway, the command-line version of this is the SVN repository of the BTstack project. And btw. you wouldn't want this demo when you could play games on the iPhone... ':)

[CASmemberSIXpents]

how do i get this period?(i have an iphone 2g)

[MetsUT1706]

How can I get this on my 3gs?

[kero905]

Maybe the bluetooth icon isn't there because he isn't using Apple's bluetooth stack?

[mringwal]

thanks for pointing that out. I'm showing the "Airplane Mode" icon only to motivate that WLAN is turned off.

[mremme]

It's a fake!

the wiimote has 4 light blinking...

more than this the iphone is in "plane mode" wich means it has all the radios OFF!!!! how could it connect the wiimote via BT if there is NO BT ICON!? :D

[obc993]

it will be cool if you had like a littler remote and ond the iphone like other things xD

[wheelcome]

so it's a fake ...

[rickygai]

is very nice to see this happening in iPhone.

May I know when can I find the source code or related SDKs to program iPhone Wiimote ?

[fritzstyller]

Very nice!

[mackmgg]

Links are not dead, just remove the ")"

[twistfunk]

i'd love to play any of my nes emulators on my iphone screen with a wiimote. buttons ftw!

[MertenNor]

were to download.. source.. ??

MertenNor

[PersonNo1]

What song is that at the start?

[galbisr]

Its a remix of Simian Mobile Disco's "It's the Beat"

[davidchadcoffey]

will this be in cydia

[XPMAD]

All your links are dead, I want this for my phone!

[bballstyle]

bluethoot is no even turn on...

[ragerino]

seems to be a good fake.

also the responses on the screen aren't allways the same.

[PersonNo1]

It's called lag.

[Nonsolopollo]

Fake this??? Imao you are completely out of road....

[mikeeey1337]

fake?? I'm doing  this with my nokia phone, so how would it be fake on the iphone?

[jayfoxuk]

Your right, no bluetooth icon in top right of the iphone. Its till a cool app tho

[thenotself]

how does it connect before the wiimote is even turned on?

[mringwal]

it tries to connect until it finds the wiimote.

[XMScott]

Pretty lackluster.

Now how about an App that controls your PS3's video functions. Both have bluetooth.

[hijacker13]

Охуенно!!!

[michamarty]

can we test this out? like upload the app somewhere or something?

This is awesome

[TriforceZZ]

who says we needed motion plus?

[wheelcome]

how does it work ? i don't see the bluetooth logo on the iphone...

[audir9]

Bluetooth is not on! i think, that this an vid. is..
