[PD] controlling gem camera with wiimote

[Luigi Rensinghoff]

Hi wiimote-experimantators....

Looks like some more people experimenting with th wii on OS X, so we  
cold share some thoughts and experiences...

For know i am using "Osculator" to send OSC Data to PD....because

1) It is possible to handle more than one wiimote

2) I was able to compile "wiimote" or "aka.wiiremote" on Intel-OS X  
Tiger, but when i create the aka.wiiremote object or load the help- 
patch i get that

load_object: Symbol "setup_aka0x2ewiiremote" not found
  aka.wiiremote 00-1e-35-03-8a-00



  ---- i will search again vor Readmes describing the setup  
procedure...i guess something is wrong with the setup (unfortunately  
the original readme about the setup procedure from aka.wiiremote is  
not available on the net any more)

   It took me a while to find out that without the IR-Sensor bar it  
is only possible to get TWO axis. as Roman stated before..

I have attached two patches, one that i found here, and i adapted it  
to be used with OSCulator and one i was working yesterday (it  
shouldnt be to difficult to adapt it to change the camera-view)

Still very chaotic - but maybe helpful

   



So anyway, i would be interested to hear how it is processing and  
what your experiments wit the wii are up to..


So one question: There were Threads about porting/adapting the  
wiimote-external to OSX, i think Hans was planning to do that....did  
you start already ?
How is the current state ?


BTW: i am getting error: pd_vmess: only 5 allowed, since a week or so ??
