Abstract:

Did you know the Wii communicates via a Bluetooth wireless link? Using C#, and a bluetooth adaptor, see how easy it is to communicate with a Wii Remote, and access many features of the device. This includes buttons, LEDS, IR sensor data (actually a IR camera). Most interesting, though, is accessing the 3-axis linear accelerometer, which allows sensing motions and movements. Join Aydin and see how easy it is to read data from a Wii Remote and control a remote Dragonfly. In addition to the Wii Remote , Aydin has added interfacing to the Wi
i Balance board as well as using the Wii Motion Plus addition (gyroscopes).
