Hello everybody,
when I last checked the mailing list (about 1 year ago...) I remember there was a wiiremote external by Hans-Christoph Steiner. However at that time I couldn't get it to work. Currently, the latest revision from sourceforge (http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/externals/io/wii...) seems to be broken (I got it from the logs). I'm looking for an external allowing to interface a Wii remote controller with pd under Mac OS X (Intel). Is there any reliable way to do that?
Thanks, Stefano
This seems like it could be promising http://www.osculator.net/wiki/ Not an external for pd, but does send over osc so could use the osc libraries in pd to digest. I havnt' tried it yet so let me know if you get it to work.

I have written a wiimote external for linux. Of course the easiest
thing (and probably best too) is to use an existing library that
supports the wiimote on your platform. I don't have a Mac, so I can't
help you with that. But starting from that library, it cannot be very
hard. You should be able to use my external as a starting point and
rewrite the parts that need the wii library on your platform.
If you do, it would be nice to keep in touch. It would be nice if the
PD interface works the same way on both platforms.
BTW. I'll put a 0.2 version of my library online next week. I'll have
concert with some wii's at the end of the week and found a bit of room
for improvement.

Ok, I got the wiiremote connecting to Pd and I can get one data
reading, so I am getting close. Hopefully I'll have this working by
the end of the day.

Hello .hc,

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! Stefano

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.
