  • Where do you put the wii remote?? in front of the pc or where? I tried it but is not as accurate as you showed. Thanks

  • go to wiimoteproject search for "ideal distance wiimote" you will find a post by user 'sts70nl' it will answer all your questions

  • A normal LED you can see, an IR LED you can't. If you really don't want to make an IR pen, you can try using a normal TV remote, however depending on the remote the IR light may be inconsistant and flash.

  • It is a little more complicated than that!

    It depends on the wave-length of the IR-led on the TV remote (many are below 940nm) and a TV remove flashes the IR-Led giving you no control over the IR-Led. You will find a cigarette lighter is actually easier and you can control it (fire emits IR-Light).

    Ben :-)

  • Join the discussion board "wiimoteproject". It will provide more detailed support on your needs for producing an IR-Pen.

    An IR-LED operates at a light spectrum above 850nm (wiimote best at 950nm) and cannot be seen by the naked eye. I suggest you stick with the Vishay TSAL6400.

  • Does anyone agree with youtube's back ground black, it looks tight as shit? lol

  • saves all hasle i will buy 1 of ebay ).-.(

  • I don't understant, for the pen okay,but you need a receiver right?

  • it's not an Ir pen if you're not using a pen

  • @fireball1821 Yes

  • will a laser work

  • @International0IDIOT It might, but the Wii remote is really looking for a wavelength of 940 nm (nano meters) ideally. The Vishay TSAL 6400 IR LED is the exactly model used by Johny Chung Lee in his video. I sell them on ebay, .99 plus 60 shipping gets 1 to you anywhere in the United States. I you buy 2 or more the shipping is only 40 cents. Just go on ebay and search for "IR PEN".

  • rest in peace from Peru

  • yes and not, The problem, the Led are "inside" and correct is, Outside, the control wii no "see" the Light, infrared., but is a Excelent Idea! thanks

    Si y no, est muy muy bien todo pero el detalle es que el control wii debe "ver" la luz del infrarojo, y este modelo evidentemente no sirve correctamente porque queda oculto. pero es un excelente aporte. Gracias
