Oops, forgot to include the ever important init statement. It
doesn't crash now, hopefully it actually works:

Hi Hans

Thanks for that.

Unfortunately its not working for me at the moment.

The object creates ok, but pd quits with no warnings or dialogs
whenever you send a message into the inlet.

I'm trying it with Pd-0.39.2-extended-test5, Mac 10.4.8

Will try it on another machine just to make sure its not something
with his machine.

Happy to try things if anyone has suggestions.

I downloaded the max demo and the max object works and syncs to the
wii remote - I will make something in Max for now as I have 30 days
of the demo to go.

Cheers

Nick

Hallo, nick weldin hat gesagt: // nick weldin wrote:

There is a max external for the Wii remote here http://www.iamas.ac.jp/~aka/max/#aka_wiiremote

How big a job would it be to port it to PD - anyone up for it ? my coding skills are minimal.

I guess, the best would be to just wait until the HID drivers stabilize a bit and then use [hid] to talk to the Wii, maybe adding some specialized abstractions later. Here are some interesting URLs:

http://www.wiili.org/index.php/Wiimote http://www.wiili.org/index.php/Wiimote_driver

I'll get a Wii next year, so I'd be trying that route for sure then.

Right now [hid] and the next gen [hidio] use the HID APIs on Mac
OS X and Windows, and the Linux input.h API. So those APIs would
have to support that device in order to use the WiiRemote. From
what I have seen, it seems to be a different API. Now that I see
it, I'll need to think about how to best handle it. Plus the
different OS's implementations could be very, very different.

The port seems to be pretty straightforward, most Max objects are
pretty easy to port to Pd, and vice versa. It builds but with a
ton of compiler warnings. It seems as tho the original programmer
ignored them with the Max object. Give it a try and let me know
if it works for you:

Attachment converted: Macintosh HD:wiiremote.pd_darwin.bz2
( / ) (00B84091)

Also, write up a help file and an example patch and I'll include it. This will be part of the nightly builds on Mac OS X now in the
"io" libdir. FYI: I dropped the "aka." prefix on the Pd version.
