So today I went to the cinema. Two cinemas, actually. Neither had Tenacious D showing. Quite annoying! So I went shopping… what a waste of time. Couldn’t find anything I wanted. The only present I got was a wiimote for myself! It was a bit of a gamble because i’d never actually gotten my bluetooth dongle working and i wasn’t sure how much i’d need the “sensor bar”. Well after a tiny bit of googling (and downloading, and installing a few bits) i was presented with this message:
Looking for Wiimote services at address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
Victory! We have found that Wiimote!
We are now connected to Wiimote at address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
It then buzzed me and flashed a bit 
So far the driver plots a graph of my movements but without IR it can’t be used for mouse stuff… so far. The code is python though, so i’ve already had a play at hacking on it.
