Control stuff with the Wiimote: DarwiinRemote v0.1a |
Ó
You know, if we knew a little more about Mac programming, this would be a pretty cool app and source code to mess around with. Hiroaki made a Mac application that can potentially allow users to control other programs using your Wiimote.
Called the DarwiinRemote, it's an app that sends and receives data to and from the Wiimote. Currently, the DarwiinRemote can only support single mouse and AppleRemote modes, but Hiroaki is hoping to put a lot of other features in future versions of his work. It requires Mac OS X 10.4 and above and Universal Binary though, so make sure you have those as well before testing this.
Of course, he does remind you that this is called DarwiinRemote v0.1a for a reason. It's new, experimental, and probably unstable, so you'd best use caution when tweaking stuff on it. If you'd like to see the basic instructions for getting the app to work with your Wiimote, as well as the key mappings and plans for future revisions, we've also listed them for you. Be sure to send Hiroaki some love over at his blog as well!
Enjoy the download, and let's see if Hiroaki's DarwiinRemote v0.1a can bring about an evolution in Wiimote use.
Using DarwiinRemote:
- Launch DarwiinRemote
- Press 1 button and 2 button of your Wii Remote simultaneously
- Wii Remote becomes "discoverable mode" (4 blue LEDs are blinking)
- Log drawer in DarwiinRemote reports "Wii Remote is found!"
- When DarwiinRemote cannot connect to Wii Remote, disconnect bluetooth connection (press power button in seconds) and restart DarwiinRemote (will fix...).
- Have Fun!

Looks sort of cheap,(X/O).
the only thing lacking? yes, winXP support :D I know I know, M$ is *****... BUT, M$ is easy to hack and nobody really pay for it, so it's okay. And the Mac cost too much for me! could anyone re-build this app. for winXP ? This would be soo cool! :D, controlling your cursor( mouse pointer ) with the wiimote :D, that sounds great! :D maybe we'll be able to start homebrew anew on the PC with this kind of control :D ps: anybody tryed to do the same with the ps3 SIXAXIS? ( free driving wheel for your PC if you have a ps3 :D )
Do you have a BlueTooth adapter or reciever for your PC? Because thats what the SIXAXIS and the WiiMote uses. The newer macs use built in BlueTooth, so this is why this was coded for a MAC.
this is sweet!!!!!!!!i love my mac, and i love my wii, now i love them twice as much!
Complete waste of time. There's something you use called a mouse for this.
