Wii Candle Sensor Bar Trick

[VGPlayer78]

Just keep the myth alive. Welcome to the medieval where everyone believes in witchcraft and other wonders.

try the lamp

[wtdvjp]

It doesn't work for me? Can u help me?

And how do I know that my sensor bar is broken? Maybe its my wiimote?

[typhoon2099]

@wtdvjp Try using your mobile phone's camera to look at the sensor bar when it is plugged in. Most camera phones seem to pick up the infra red light as a feint indigo-white light. If you can't see it then it may not be working. Try on a remote control and you'll see the same light.

[ESPIONAGE09]

PLEASE HELP... i bought a cheap wireless sensor bar off of ebay and it works but when i go on the same setting menu that this shows..... both lights are supposed to be flashing. i can only get either both on or one on and one flashing???

[vaccumenhancer439]

Does anyone know how to fix a sensor bar when you try to wave the remote and it gets no signal?What should I do?I had one,ordered another one but no luck.Help please.

[DazeMC]

That is probably the most deadly thing I've seen in a while.... bout time I got something for free, I've paid so much with the consoles and games and when the sensor bar died I was pissed, Just set the candles up in front of the dead sensor bar and bam.... 5 star for this invaluable information

[101Habbopranks]

HOLY SHT AWEZOME!!!!!!

[vodka2k9]

i tried and the candles fell so i have no tv and no wii =[

THEY BURNED

[typhoon2099]

that's unfortunate. Always use candle with care.

[JalilCantarero]

it does work,i have to that EVERYTIME i turn on my wii

u can also use just ONE candle and a mirror

[fawkner12]

wish id known about this christmas day, our rabbit chewed the wire,so no wii,and dissapointed children, found out this trick, and was amazed it worked

[GGPWN3D]

amazing

XD

[zonkers99]

marvellous, just marvellous

[typhoon2099]

I was in the sensor bar menu, where you set the sensitivity. You can see the points the controller can see and adjust it so there's only the 2 dots from the sensor bar visible.

If you were to leave the sensor bar on and light the candles you would see 4 dots.

[dananboy]

i dont get it. what do u do for it? do u go to a certain screen or just unplug the sensor bar with 2 candles where it would be and the controller works?

[waterterez]

it works with 2 CDs and a flash light too

[0discover0]

you have a funny voice ^.-

[typhoon2099]

Thanks, I'm from Shetland.

[0discover0]

i tried this trick too and it worked!

but only at around 4 feet away from the candles.

[Blimp117]

Lol, he was making fun of you, no need to say thanks to him.

[typhoon2099]

I saw it as a compliment.

[computermadjack]

this is amazing and it works cauce i do it all the time!

[Mindfreak693]

its so fake OMG it makes no sense! if the sensor bar is unpluged how can candles work as a sensor bar? obvisily the have another sensor bar hidden some where. I have a wii and don't care to try it, BECAUSE ITS FAKE

[typhoon2099]

It's explained below, the sensor bar just gives of infra red light, as does a candle.

[cococolakid]

this is so freakin insane that i accidentally broke my sensor bar trying this!!

[forsaken3400]

yeah i tried this its crazy

[itachiuchiha146]

Thats awesome

[paco67797531pie]

the sensor bar has lights?!?!

[typhoon2099]

Yes, the inside is comprised of 5 LEDs on either side that give off infra red light.

[paco67797531pie]

yeah but in this video you can see 2 white lights coming from the sides of the sensor bar.

[typhoon2099]

It's the camera phone. It picks up the infra red as white light. try it yourself with the bar or a remote control.

[paco67797531pie]

k thanks.

[typhoon2099]

yeah... it's the ir light as seen by the camera.

[phazonxl]

this is very simple. The sensor bar emits IR light. There are multiple IR LEDS on the sensor, but the wii-mote will perceive each group of IR LEDs as 1 IR source.

With these 2 groups of IR bulbs, the wiimote sends the location of itself to the wii.

2 candles will make a large more effective source of IR and thus it works better.

[living2please]

I LOVE YOUR ACCENT <3

[typhoon2099]

Thanks!

[theocan]

erm Reikai or watever you're name is i love the wii best console so far i do believe the trick and yet i still play xbox 360 and ps3 and i say that they are still good but the wii is best

[evaluu]

omfg this ctually woorkss

[jeffreydanderson]

Wow u are all N00bs exept meex45 he is totoaly right i tried it it works and the wii remote sends info to the wii any way why dont u think nintendo would just hook them up togther-ur all n00bs exept mee3x45

[mrtoilet2]

you guys are idiots its like how you guys wanna beleive elvis presley is still alive

he isnt and this sencor bar candle trick is also false trust me you guys are not gonna influence me into beleiving this bull shit

[typhoon2099]

I can do it again if you really want, and show you without any doubt that it works. That, or you could just try it...

[mrtoilet2]

i want absoulute proof that it works even though it doesnt

[ReikaiDemon]

Hey, you know what Ben Franklin said? A stupid person is only such, if they try very hard to stay stupid. So shut up, and go learn a thing or two, if you have a Wii, try the candle trick yourself moron. That would be a LOT easier than denying it. I don't even have a Wii, and I definitely know it is entirely possible because of the radiation that flames give off is close to the spectrum that IRLEDs give off.

[mrtoilet2]

i actually did and it works*im surprised*

[meex45]

Thanks

[typhoon2099]

Unless the N00b137s have mirrors on there heads to reflect the sun at the wiimote, then they'd work fine.

P.S. Thanks for the explanation, I tried explaining it above but your explanation made more sense.

[xXleakproofgold33Xx]

how the hell did that work, how r the candles linked to the Wii, i just dont get it.

[typhoon2099]

They aren't linked to the wii, the sensor bar (which isn't really a sensor at all...) just emits infra red light at either side, the same light is emitted by the candles, so are a suitable replacent. You could use the sun and a couple of mirrors if you wanted, but that would just be silly.

[mrtoilet2]

bull shit the sencor bar records movement by the wii remote and send the info to wii if people beleive this shit they make me look smart

[typhoon2099]

Shut up, you are completely wrong. Take apart a sensor bar and you will find 10 ir LEDs, nothing else. People have made wireless sensor bars this way.

[mrtoilet2]

i tryed this trick on vid and it didnt work ill try it again

[Mincle]

Cool, so I just need to light the candles and I have a custom wireless sensor bar. ;)

Nice video.

Mincle

[Liynkx]

someone could have easily plugged it back in while you were lighting the candles.

[typhoon2099]

You can see the light from the bar in the camera. And can see when it's turned off. Try it yourself and see.

[jakhog]

Cause the candles are really hot, they emit alot of Infrared Rays. Thats the same kind of light (or very close on the EM spectrum) that the sensor bar outputs. ;)
