Oops, I should be a little more specific ... what I described was my experience with the Guitar Hero controller, which as far as I can tell is just a repackaged SIXAXIS controller that sends a different device ID. It may be slightly different for the regular SIXAXIS controllers, but use [print] and see what you get.

I hooked up a [print] to the [hid] object's first outlet. If you do that you should see a constant stream of messages that look like this: ... 0x002c 561 0x002d 593 0x002e 512 ...
0x002c, 0x002d and 0x002e identify the X, Y and Z messages, and the numbers after them are the values. I was expecting them to show up as regular gamepad messages, so I actually didn't know that I was getting them at first.

Hmm, so I installed that driver, and now I get the standard gamepad data from the device. Are you able to get the six-axis accelerometer data from the device? that's the real fun stuff.

For the record, the SIXAXIS controller works well in Mac OS X with this driver:

I've used that for the Guitar Hero controller. Using the [hid] object I get 3 continuous values from the XYZ sensors.

Hans, do you know how many "control" signals this will produce? From what I read in the literature, it sounds like it also has motion controls. 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
