Except we had IR working on a PC a while ago already :)
Props to the DarwiinRemote guys for making it work on Macs though! It's good to see that people are using our reverse engineering work to write more usable drivers :)
Since the primary source of infrared radiation is heat or thermal radiation, any object which has a temperature radiates in the infrared. Even objects that we think of as being very cold, such as an ice cube, emit infrared. When an object is not quite hot enough to radiate visible light, it will emit most of its energy in the infrared. For example, hot charcoal may not give off light but it does emit infrared radiation which we feel as heat.
How is this working without the 'sensor bar'? Will we have to use some kind of IR emitter to feed the wiimote its pointer info? I'm looking forwards to using the wiimote as a pointer for my media PC in the living room! :)
no I know what it is. I was just joking. I know, stupid joke <_<. Anyways, I am interested on this thing he is using for the sensor bar is. Me and my friend got it working with the wii on, and using the sensor bar, but apparantly it works without one. Interesting.
Sorry then. Yeah, too many of those jokes you know?
Yeah, well the Wiimote contains a small infrared (IR) camera in it that looks for two IR sources. These can be candles, christmas lights, even TV remote signals if you say, put a book on one of your TV remote's buttons. The sensor bar, if you look at the plug contains two connectors, a positive and negative which translates into: Wii only powers the sensor bar, that's it. There's nothing else to it. That's the neatest part.
so if i have a infa red port i can make it work?

Wow! You guys rock :) I didn't think you'd get IR working on a PC.

Mmkay people.
A lesson on infrared. Far infrared waves are thermal. Shorter, near infrared waves are not hot at all (like in your TV remote)

The sensor bar is made out of 2 IR led at the bottom of the screen, we need the code so we can run it, PLEASE
