Wiimote Presenter

Visit http://jasonlpsmith.googlepages.com to download the program or source code.

This program was developed for the Wiimote (Nintendo Wii remote controller) with a PC for use with PowerPoint presentations, timing, mouse control, media control and can be used with one or two screens.

You will need:
- PC with MS Windows
- Microsoft .NET 3.5
- Bluetooth (it must be compatible with the Wiimote)
- Infrared source (lit candle or IR LED, only required for pointer function)

I had set the B button to enable momentary mouse control. In the video the wiimote infrared camera only controls the mouse while I am pressing the B button.

Getting your Wiimote to connect to your PC can be difficult with different PCs. My Samsung X25 laptop (with built in bluetooth) had no problems, other bluetooth interfaces are different. If it doesn't work for you please try a Google search for "connect wiimote PC". There is plenty of information out there about connecting a wiimote to a PC, but it may not be a simple process.

I don't actually own any gaming console, I just purchased the handheld controller after seeing what it can do in Johnny Lee's impressive video.

If you find any bugs, please give a detailed description so it can be fixed.

To run the program, extract the zip file and run the file WiimotePresenter.exe. You will need .NET 3.5 and a compatible Bluetooth connection.

@LifeIsLikeAHurricane Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you liked it. I don't take donations for this work.

One perfect presenter and mouse interface. Thanks for sharing the code also.

Also, may I suggest you to program a virtual (360 degrees) desktop that can be used with your current program.

I will be checking up your website.

Again, I appreciate your time. Take care

Thanks for your comment. I don't think that I will be doing much programming in the near future. Please feel free to modify the source code and do whatever you want with it. If you do make a virtual desktop I would be interested to see the result.

Regards,

Jason

@onewilliam12. I am sorry but I don't know. I have never tried it with Windows 7. I really don't know how to connect the wiimote with windows 7. Not all bluetooth interfaces with with the wiimote. Once the Wiimote it connected via bluetooth, the program should work. Try google "bluetooth wiimote connection" and see if that can help you. Good luck.

I'm having trouble syncing my wiimote to the program. It works sometimes but sometimes it doesn't. The computer says that the device was added but the program doesn't read it. What can I do?

@Lifeisjustagame666 Windows Vista and Windows 7 have a built in Bluetooth "stack" out of the box and are usually easier to connect to the Wii Remote. If you have an XP computer make sure that you update XP will all of the latest service packs. IOgear makes a USB bluetooth dondle which works fairly well. And the program called "smoothboard" has an autoconnection feature. I am a reseller of smoothboard and I also sell IR pens. I would be very happy to answer any questions taht you have.
