@uzmangeo Search for IR pens on the bay of the E. Mine are the cheapest. about 6.50 with shipping, if you live in the USA.

soo what programs I need for ir pen?

[Shakespeare1612]

@SashkaKingCobra1 RE: What program do you need for an ir pen? Smoothboard is the best, but there are also free ones, like uweschmidt or the early version of smoothboard is available on wiimoteproject. Sorry that YouTube doesn't allow complete web addresses in comments. Anybody interested in the complete addresses can write to me directly. I happily accept friend requests or subscribe to my channel.

[SashkaKingCobra1]

hello what the program you switch on at 00.10?

[1GreatMind]

I been looking around for someone who got everything to work with Vista... Yours works great ! Which bluetooth adapter did you use?

[Shakespeare1612]

I am planning a coffee house show where I will actually project the image all the way across a street and onto the side of another building. The image should be 10 feet tall, projected from 30 feet away, but I will be holding the pen at only about 4 feet away and using it's shadow to calibrate and aim. It should be most epic!!

yeas

[warlockboyburns]

does anyone know how to get permanent power to the wiimote?

[Ba3dadBoy]

If touching the screen is an issue, some people put a 2mm acrylic sheet on the screen to protect it. Not this project but a similar one :)

[bhfp28]

not really the most you can hold it is a few inches away, i would like to estimate about 2". even then, the software sometimes recognizes two sources of infrared because 1 comes from the pen and one from the reflection on the screen. there are more bugs if you hold it a distance but you don't actually have to touch the screen.

[ferrarizotteke]

Doesn't seem to healthy for your screen :O

[darkembassymusic]

i agree

[sparky1442]

will it work on a crt too?

[dejkola]

[Shakespeare1612]

[Funmaster98]

@AirsoftAgents First you need a wii remote, than you need a bluetooth and a inferred pen and a program on your computer called smoothboard. It also works great with projectors, you can basically turn any surface into a smart board with smoothboard and a wii remote. 

[fedecasabona]

YES HE IS!

[perryham]

how is the angle of the wiimote? it seems like you're getting really good resolution!

[perryham]

wow three exclamation marks!

[Has564]

are u doing this on a normal LCD screen? or a laptop?

[eeezb]

is this mean that laser pen is more accurate than LED pen? cool!

[nunux75]

Hi,

Not at all. You can't use laser pen with wiimote. This video show a IR pen. But at this time you can't buy nice IR pen, so I've buy a laser pen, and have replace the laser diode by a IR diode.

Cheers,

Nunux

[Shakespeare1612]

@nunux75 Please note, at this time, you can by many fine IR pens. I have been making and selling them for over a year and a half.

[RuokangasBrasil]

@Shakespeare1612 hahahahah,nice, i bought one her in brazil for about 8 dollars, comes with laser, ultra violet light and Led. all works, Ok, IR is other quality, but this is ok. Good work on the replys

[warjak100]

@eeezb lol when i first quickly read this, i thought it said "is this mean that laser PENIS more accurate than LED pen? cool" haha, i was like WTF!?!?!?!? 

[lavrentis1]

[elgranto7]

Well done ;-) Now you can really "sign" directly on your screen... until you don't press it too hard... :-p. Now, could you explain a little bit how you did ? :-)

[andrewsmithty]

[Mwyann]
