Hi,

IOhannes suggested that I post this conversation on the pd-list so other pd users can benefit. Here it is so far:

Original message:

Hi,

I was wondering if you can connect multiple dongles to your computer to increase the number of wiimotes that can connect to pure data using your wiimote object.

IOhannes' Reply:

hi please ask such questions on the pd-list [1], so that more people can profit from the answer.

and yes. you can connect more wiimotes with more dongles. [wiimote]. [wiimote] was successfully deployed with (iirc) >6 wiimotes connected to one host.

iirc even more, you might also need to patch libcwiid to allow addressing multiple dongles explicitely (for stability reasons) and compile [wiimote] with the CWIID_OPEN_WITH_DONGLE define set.

My followup question:

I'm guessing I need to know C in order to "patch" libcwiid right? Or is it something trivial?
