Hi Jason
A few people from this list worked on getting [wiimote] into Debian. Under unstable / sid it is already available as the package 'pd-wiimote'. I'd be glad, if you could try this one and report if it is working with your device.
Note: It depends on the meta-package 'pd' thus it will probably install 'puredata', although you have a Pd version already installed in /usr/local/. However, this shouldn't hurt at all. I just want to let you know, and also to take care to set proper paths for your locally installed Pd, since the 'pd-wiimote' will install into /usr/lib/pd/extra.

Hi list.
I've got [wiimote] compiled and almost working with 0.43 vanilla...except that the accelerometer data doesn't seem to be working.
I've got (what I think is a) latest generation black wiimote with built-in Motion Plus, and my testing was without the nunchuck or anything attached.
I can discover the device and the help patch shows all the button presses and I can toggle the LEDs and vibrator using the help patch, but even after clicking the toggle the accelerator data is just absent.
I believe that an extra blank line shows up in the Pd console when I send the accel activation message, but aside from that there's just nothing.
I read the blurb in the [wiimote] readme about the problems with older versions of libcwiid, but I've got 0.6.00+svn201-2+b2 from debian sid, which I believe is pretty damn close to the latest...
Has anybody experienced this? Any suggestions other than compiling libcwiid myself and trying out the motionplus_sensitivity patch?
Thanks!
