more wiimote complications...

I decided to have another go at using the wii-mote's with my laptop, and got it working again, just your basic mouse and desktop controls such as volume and mouse buttons etc...I also got Johnny Chung's grid program working, it essentially lets you use IR LED's to resize and move a grid around.

However, I did discover one particular problem, which was compatibility. Essentially, some programs and scripts will only work with the wii-mote using certain bluetoth adapters, i was using a standard toshiba stack.

using the toshiba stack I could get programs such as wiinRemote and glovepieworking, however Johnny chungs software would not work unless i was using blue soliel.
Thats before i got the mac OSX and Vista incompatibilities.

For a safe bet, the original design for a multi-touch surface will be implemented.

email me if you have any inquiries...
