Wii Sensor Bar patent approved |
Listed in: Wii Tags: Nintendo, Sensor Bar

Time to put back that glue gun away in the tool kit. The "Base Stand for Sensor Bar" was granted its patent on April 7, 2009, after a long 2 1/2 years wait. Described as an "ornamental design for a base stand sensor bar", the contraption was co-created by seven Japanese inventors.
Seven guys for a sensor bar stand, huh? This better be a hella good sensor bar stand.

I've had one stuck on my tv for about a year and a half.

When did you buy your Wii? Anyway, you can still sell goods that are PATENT PENDING. This news is about the patent finally being approved. I guess at some point Nintendo started putting the stands in units.
But again, I don't have one and don't need one. Why would you need the sensor bar to be an inch higher? Seems pointless.

By the looks of that pic it will certainly stand taller.

45 degrees? You're an idiot. They make IR LEDs that spread farther then that AND ARE high output. Go back to the drawing board!!!
Here's a hint, use TWO of them at a slight angle and you can achieve 180 degrees of spread just like I did. Although the camera still wont be able to reach that far because the points become too close together but it still works much better.

To quote myself:
"Although the camera still wont be able to reach that far because the points become too close together but it still works much better."
Seriously jackass, you REALLY REALLY REALLY need to get a CLUE!!!
My high output LEDs make for an awesome sensor bar. I get ultra steady operation at 30 feet away and I only stopped there because that's the end of my room!
While I can't control it at 180 degrees LIKE I ALREADY MENTIONED, I CAN go far beyond your pathetic 45 degrees.
Also, you are using WAY TOO MANY LEDS!!!!! That's ok though, it's a typical N00B mistake.
Also, quit trying to wait 4 days to respond in hopes I wont be here to tie up your BS. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! !!!!
