hi all,

just looking for a bit of help using the wiimote.

I have it connected on my windows pc using some widcomm drivers and I've fired up glovepie and managed to get a bit of input from it, enough to select icons crudely on the desktop.

One problem I'm having is that the wiimote just constantly flashees its LEDs.

The other thing I noticed there was a glovepie script posted for xbmc a while ago, has there been any developments in this or anything else that might help.

Cheers

technically this is probably one for the glovepie forums, but I'm feeling generous...

There are commands to control the LEDs. I set mine to flash the LED1 every second. (see beginning of the script attached). You could just set them to off if you want.

My controls are set up to work to control games more than XBMC, but you can get the idea and substitute your own keycodes in if you'd like.

There is also a handy script that I found elsewhere which does a pretty good job of tracking the pointer, but I won't post it all here since it's pretty long and isn't mine. Of course, the script below was a modified version of someone else's script, but I don't know who anymore.
