Thanks for your quick response. And yes I have tried using the same wiimote with Smoothboard and it is working fine. Also I have tried using WiimoteLib with test application and it is also working fine. Only when I am using WiimoteWhiteboard, this issue is arising. Can there be some issue with WiiRemoteJ library ?
Thanks.

Hi Diptesh,

The stray IR source may come from sunlight, lamps, laptop, mobile devices.

If you cover the Wiimote’s IR camera and still there is 2 dots registered, you may have a faulty Wiimote. Have you tried using Smoothboard to see whether the same issue arises?

Regards,
Boon Jin

When I am starting the application on Windows, as soon as I start the application I am getting two IR dots and the calibration is getting done even though I haven’t used any IR source. I have used WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack. My wiimote is getting detected properly. But I am not able to figure out how two IR dots are getting detected without using any IR pen. No other IR source is there near my PC. Please let me know if where the problem can be ?
Thanks & Regards,
Diptesh

Hello,
I finally succeed in install of wiimote whiteboard on windows XP (I had hard times because it refuses to recognize windows bluetooth stack but I replaced it with widcomm). Now I have a problem : how to correctly connect 2 wiimotes (improve the reception because of lefthanded / righthanded users) ?
Whatever I do the software complains about one of the wiimote “out of the screen limits” and need recalibration. When I “look” at the wii camera screen the plot 1 & 2 are correctly located and very near…
Thanks for your help…

your solution to “force” it to start with widcomm didn’t work. i copied the command listed into the command propt, and it says “Bluetooth failed to initialize. there is probably a problem with your local bluetooth stack or API”… so uh, i downloaded and installed Widcomm but nothing really seems to have changed.. i know when i went to install it, it said to connect my bluetooth device. when i connected it, windows instantly started downloading windows drivers. but then when the install of widcomm finished the driver listed shows broadcom instead of iogear like it usually does lol. idk how to get this stupid thing to work…

Hi Uwe, I like all the ir led possibilities!
Yesterday I have installed your software on my laptop Mac (OS10.5.8); I’ve followed the instructions on preferences etc.
And I have come till the callibration of the 4 points. with my ir ledpen. I tried both with the wiiremote on a beamer and on my laptop screen. both give the same result:
After the four √ ’s of the calibration, the irledpen can not be used as a mouse. and I cannot draw or so. The proces stucks.
What do I forget? Hope you can help me out, thanks,
Maatje (Netherlands)

Hi, I’m wondering if I can use a normal infrared receiver rather than the Wii Remote?

Hi Matt,

“are you using this on Mac, Windows, or Linux?”
I am using iMac on the Mac OS

are you by any chance using an old iMac with a PowerPC processor? If so, that could explain some of your problems (read the Bluetooth section in the Wiki).

The connection of the wiimote to the Mac will randomly drop. I believe this happens when their is more bluetooth devices in the room [...] So my suggestion is to add a setting to stop and resume looking for wiimotes, so other bluetooth devices don’t interfere.

This is certainly possible that other Bluetooth devices interfere. I’m unable to test this however while developing the software.
In order to stop the app from looking for further Bluetooth devices, consider setting the runtime option org.uweschmidt.wiimote.whiteboard.wiimotes to “1″; see the Wiki for instructions.

Sorry for the late reply, I’m currently traveling…

Hi Fernando,

1 – The visualization area keeps very reduced – it is always around 5%. I moved the wiimote around but I cannot improve it!! (got a value of 40% in the first atempts, but could not get it again).

don’t worry about the tracking area as long as everything is working fine.

2 – The camera monitoriing functioned the first time I used the wiimotewhiteboard..but never again. What is wrong?

Does the application otherwise work normally? If so, that’s strange.

Hi Brad,

I am interested in using this in connection with a multitouch board. I have not been able to check on the multitouch capabilities with the tuio(?). Do you have any suggestions

I’m unable to help if you don’t ask a specific question.

Hi zalis,

i was wondering how can i actually open this code in net-beans [...] i was unable to even open it net beans because it was not locating library files.

I personally don’t use NetBeans, but I believe it can import the configuration from an Apache Ant build script, which is included in my source code download (build.xml).
If you want to do it manually, you just need to add all the jar-files from the lib folder to the Java classpath.

“are you using this on Mac, Windows, or Linux?”
I am using iMac on the Mac OS

“What do you mean by “faster”?”
Some of the time it takes forever for the program to find the wiimote
or sometimes the wiimote will connect to the computers bluetooth service and not the program.

The connection of the wiimote to the Mac will randomly drop. I believe this happens when their is more bluetooth devices in the room because when their is no one else with cellphones with bluetooth services it stays connected for hours but when classroom full of students the connection drops very quick! So my suggestion is to add a setting to stop and resume looking for wiimotes, so other bluetooth devices don’t interfere.

The reason why I am using bluetooth doogle is because my iMac does not have a builtin bluetooth. Other iMac’s that do have built in bluetooth run the program smooth. This is the bluetooth doogle am using. It works fine on mac but causing lag

Thank you for telling about the save calibration, we have always been taking it down after using it.

Hope we can resolve this problem that I am having and I wish you my Best regards

Hi
Thanks for your program. It seems it works fine in my Mac but there are some things I want to improve:

1 – The visualization area keeps very reduced – it is always around 5%. I moved the wiimote around but I cannot improve it!! (got a value of 40% in the first atempts, but could not get it again).

2 – The camera monitoriing functioned the first time I used the wiimotewhiteboard..but never again. What is wrong?

Thank you again
