[onilink422]

This is cool. ^-^

[aruizmart1]

whats this for?? doesn't do anything

[TheCuteHouse]

GOOD~

[frescde]

Does this works for ipod touch? If so, i have already installed BT Stack, but every time i start the App, i get this message: " Bluetooth not accessible! Hardware initialization failed! Make sure you have turned off Bluetooth in the System Settings", eveen with the BT turned off!

[SimonOrJ]

@frescde I hope you don't have iPod Touch 1st generation because it's the only iPod Touch without bluetooth.

This is a real old post as I see...

[StephenLawdx]

Actually I have found that I already had BTstack installed as it installs automatically when you download the emulator...

The game boy emulator I have got has wiimote compatabillity but it won't connect..

I don't know where I'm going wrong here

[StephenLawdx]

Do you know which version of btstack I need to download to use my wii controler with my gameboy colour emulator?

I have seen many videos doing this but when I search BTstack in cydia there are multiple results eg. Mouse, keyboard ect..

Please help!

[mringwal]

@StephenLawdx There is only a single package called "BTstack" - which is marked as developer. If a game supports WiiMote over BTstack, it should get installed automatically. Maybe you need another Gameboy emulator that has Wiimote support.

[Hahex1]

If you attached the wii motion plus, could you make it so that it moves up and down as well as sideways?

[HardGam3R]

its for bluethooth?

[johnathon124]

If you couldnt master the math of converting a 3 axis accelerometer to 2 axis , how did you have it workibg before ? Id actually use the old version if you still have it or if a cydia source has it

[mringwal]

the old version did rotate in 2 axix, but I only showed them separately. rotating more than 90 degrees or around 2 axes did not work properly. fell free to fixit, the source is in the BTstack SVN.

[johnathon124]

i couldnt fix it, iPhone coding and Xcode has been really confusing to me

but may ask, would it be possible to have the wiimote as a bluetooth mouse for the iPhone? or even a ps3 remote ? ( and for the ps3 remote you would probably need the bluetooth address )

[mringwal]

I guess you have seen my BTstack Mouse application. That one could be extended to support a WiiMote. I'll make a note about it.. :) I plan to support WiiMote and PS3 DualShock as game controllers for the iPhone, but that will take a while.

[johnathon124]

i notice it while browsing though rick and then saw your video of your program.. even though i dont have a bluetooth mouse ( i plan to buy a magic mouse ) i downloaded it anyway. getting the PS3 remoteto work is going to be one hell of a challenge, but im going to see how it works by checking out exactly how it connects to the ps3 and how these 3rd party programs and drivers are getting it to work. as for the wii remote ... ( continued )

[johnathon124]

as for the wii remote, there are some open source programs, maybe you can use the sources to easily add support as a mouse, or maybe even full rotation in this wii remote demo.

Darwiin Remote is for mac, im not sure if its open source, but its based on an older program that was open source, so ill look in through all of that. if you want, you can have any information or source codes if you want.

[mringwal]

hi. the wiili and wiibrew wikis have all info needed, also the only issue with the ps3 controller is to tell it the address of the master device. but there are open source versions for linux and windows.

[HefferHefferHeffer]

It would be so awesome to control your iPhone with your WiiMote

[TheMoronicCousins]

what app is it?

[mringwal]

WiiMote Open GL Demo in Cydia. :)

[Soalreaper44]

Hahahahahahahahahahah...! I've done that before.!!!

[expazatrix]

To bad I don't have a WiiMote.. :(

[voicerader4]

you sir, are a genious. :P but seriously, you are... im getting an iPhone for X-mas. I'v already jailbroken my friends iphone (3 times, his got bricked 1 time for downloading porn, second his apps didnt work..)

[yongobongo]

I can has OBEX?

[mringwal]

Not yet. You could work on that. :)

[MuffinBlades]

Is it possible you can use ur iPhone or I touch as a remote for wii?

[mringwal]

There is no strip on the iPhone that prevents it from being thrown into the TV! watch out.

[Millhouse013]

wait, care to tell me why this new version only shows the wiimote's roll, and not pitch and yaw anymore? you had it working before, so why take it out? it'd be even more impressive if it captured the WiiMotes every move...

(if possible, tweet this to me. I'm @TehMillhouse)

[mringwal]

It is one axis only because I couldn't master the maths of converting a 3D accelerometer reading into a 2-axis rotation. Be happy to fix it if someone does the math for it... :)

[Millhouse013]

wait, 2-axis? doesn't the WiiMote have 3 accelerometers? I'm gonna go check out the source, maybe my High School math can help, but I doubt it...

[dong2512]

i believe its 6 axis.

am i wrong?

[Millhouse013]

wait, what? In 3D space, you only have 3 perpendicular axis. I think you make the mistake of putting axis equal to direction. There are 6 directions, but 3 axis.

[dong2512]

Ah, I confuse that with sixaxis controller where it can detect 3 axis tilt PLUS 3 axis movement, (Do you get it? it detects the tilt but also detects which way and how fast it is moving)

[fireboys06]

Cool, nice idea, care to share the song name? It sounds good.

[ihavegreenapples]

This is pure gold. Congratulations. Can't wait to play on the iphone with the Wii Mote... Or vice versa.

[starcraft2zergfan]

thanks :D ive been waiting for a month man :D thanks :D

[inestfr]

why the app lag on 3.1.2 ??

[Mecler]

What song was playing in the background? I liked it.

[mringwal]

That would be something from "Lani Puna".

[tombonez]

WOW, just tested this out on my iPhone and it works amazingly.

Seriously looking forward to future updates and the potential applications that could come from this.

Do you by any chance have a twitter account I could follow you on?

Love it :D

[mringwal]

Yes, still figuring out what's it good for :) - it's "mringwal" @ twitter

[NedSc]

would rather have BT connection to a keyboard. Why is there no one on the planet working on this?

[mringwal]

I'm already working on a BT Keyboard driver. I just had to get the Bluetooth stack ready for the iPhone.

[NedSc]

I LOVE YOU

[05murphym]

what the soures?

[mringwal]

Yet another fake? The new Bluetooth icon in the status bar is red and flipped horizontally, by the way. :)

[05murphym]

how is it a fake

[mringwal]

It is not a fake, but that's what people normally put into comments. see the comments to the first part of the demo.
