Hrmm ... well I just hooked up my regular SIXAXIS controller (not the GH controller), and I'm not getting the XYZ data either. Sorry about that, I assumed it would work the same way.
And the GH controller is USB, not bluetooth. It is wireless, but they use their own communication protocol, not bluetooth. I'm not sure why they did that. My only guess is that it saved battery life, or shaved $0.50 off the price of the controller.

It is supposed to give transposition and rotation in XYZ, hence SIXAXIS. That's the hope at least.

Does that mean that it has XYZ sensors? Or does it also have the pitch and yaw sensors as well? It sounds like a Wii has XYZ and pitch and yaw...

I just got a Sony SIXAXIS, I am hoping it is easier to use than the WiiRemote. There seems to be more good lowlevel code available for it, anyway.

hi Luigi,
thanks for the tip on OSculator. im just looking at it now. you have it communicating with pd? i just tried it out with nodebox real quick and seems to works fine...
i also go the wiitar connecting to pd with a 3rd party app called "wiitar"... that works fairly decent too!
i haven't got the wii working with darwiiremoteOSC yet but seems pretty straight forward.
i would agree it would be nice to have a pd external (aka.wiiremote) but for now these solutions seem adequate....eh?
i just got these two remotes in the mail from ebay yesterday so i have not messed with them too much other than making sure they worked... maybe it would be nice to have a wiki page or something will all wiimote related pd patches/vids/experiments/examples?
...lots of cool possibilities as a controller i see!!
BTW what else are people doing with the wiimote? i see its interfaced with max/msp, and processing also.
Cheers mark
