This is a port of aka.wiiremote, yup. The Max and Pd APIs are so similar, you usually don't need flext to make it work for both.
The problem here is that Max/MSP is a Carbon app and the pd process is not (Tcl/Tk Wish.app is). The IOBluetooth framework is designed to be used in a Carbon app, so I have to hack around in unusual ways to make this work. flext wouldn't help with that, unfortunately, AFAIK.

wow, that would be great! thanks!
and thanks to all the people who promptly answered suggesting some viable way to make the Wii Remote communicate with pd.
as far as I understand it's a port of aka.wiiremote, right?
do you think that a cross-platform (Max/pd) version, at least forMacOSX, could be made by using flext? however I know there are issuesconcerning Bluetooth implementations on different OSes.
Ciao!
