Description:
This video will show you how to use your Wiimote as a game controller (or mouse) for your Windows Based computer (mac guide coming soon).

Downloads:

Materials

  • Wiimote
  • Windows based computer
  • Bluetooth (internal or external adapter)

Directions:

  1. Plugin your bluetooth adapter and activate it (or just activate it, if it’s internal).Note: Following steps may vary from bluetooth stack to bluetooth stack.
  2. Go to your Bluetooth places, and add a new bluetooth device.
  3. Follow the wizard and pair it as a “Human Interface Device”
  4. When your computer starts looking for device, hit the “1″ and “2″ buttons on the Wiimote (lights on Wiimote should start flashing).
  5. Select the Wiimote on your computer once it’s found.
  6. Your device should be paired, so you can now open up the app we downloaded, Glovepie.
  7. Either paste the script you want, write one, or use the gui to create one (watch the video for specifics).
  8. Configure whichever game/app you want to use the Wiimote.

Additional Notes:
-In the glovepie download there is a folder that contains a lot of Wiimote scripts (including the script to make your Wiimote a pointer).
-If you get an error when trying to pair your Wiimote and computer, it may be an issue with the stack that you’re currently using (click me for more information).
