No sensor bar? AndreMP says use flashlights instead |
Ó
If you break your sensor bar, don't panic. You can "replace your sensor bar with one or several flashlights," said AndrewMP, who gave us this tip. "The sensor bar simply projects light into the Wiimote, and the Wiimote then tells the console where it's at."In other words, what AndrewMP is saying is that the sensor bar is just a light bar. The Wiimote picks up this light, and your Wii calculates what your Wiimote is doing based on where the light is. "The only reason for the sensor bar plugging into the Wii is to power it; it does not send any information itself to the console."
Here's proof:
Last night I was testing out AA batteries in a flashlight to find a pair fit for my Wiimote. At one point I had placed the flashlight (turned on) on top of my television, and had the sensor bar detached from the console. Lo-and-behold, I started moving my Wiimote and noticed the cursor moving on the television.
You might want to try this "if you broke your sensor bar or just want to try a neat experiment." Let us know.
Finally, while this might just light the fuse of anti-Wii people who want to point out how un-amazing the Wiimote and sensor bar are, it also might shed light on complaints about how the Wiimote is sensitive to sunlight and strong light (although nobody would play with a strong glare on the TV, so this shouldn't be a problem, right?).
Come on, let's just sing GameJew's Wiimote song and be happy!

works.....that means that the abble from the sensor bar is nothing more than a power supply
If that is the way it works, then based on the previous idea of using IR leds, which send nothing more the higher frequency light, it might have been possible to make it work all along. And the sunlight thing was probably nothing more than the wii console being confused by the source of light, rather than interference from it.
i think the sun think was from a diffusion of the suns light, so the controller couldnt see the bar. also, if its a really hot day, does that mean it wont owrk anymore?
light only seems to disturb the controller. heat has nothing to do with it. it could be 200 degrees and nothing would happen, only if the sunlight is right in the controller or between the controller and the sensor bar
they have so many videos on youtubube about this day 1 people found this out qj really is behind.....
actually, the control would melt at 200 degrees, and you would probably die. *****ing retard
