May as well just rename the site to Wiimote-a-Day; seems like that’s all people want to hack any more.

Shame the tutorial page doesnt work, this could be good for playing NES/SNES/GB/MEGADRIVE etc. games on the iphone!

Try this link: http://web.me.com/smaurice/AppleCoder/iPhone_OpenGL/Entries/2009/4/1_OpenGL_ES_06_-_Objects_in_3D.html

That seems to be the page that everyone is trying to link to. However, it’s not actually a tutorial about the Wii remote.

is the view angle of the wiimote also dependent on the physical orientation of the iphone as well?

hi there. small correction. ubiq_01 posted the video on his blog. I’ve done the demo and the video. The tutorial I’ve mentioned is about OpenGL-ES programming on the iPhone. It helped a lot but has nothing to do with the WiiMote.

maybe someone can correct the original posting. :)

Cheers

That’s great mathias, but I think everyone would be really interested to know the details of how you got the bluetooth connection to work, if you’d be willing to share the details?

I was expecting you to finish the whole meme.
of course, wiimote has 3 accelerometers and 11 buttons, while iphone has a lot less of both

sweet, i did not know a useable bluetooth stack had been made for the iphone, been waiting on that, time to check it out..

I’m still waiting for someone to create a bluetooth stack that makes the wiimote usable for winmo.

Posted at 10:08 pm on Aug 5th, 2009 by paul

@paul

I would love to see someone controlling an RC-helicopter with a wiimote

Hook iPhone to TV. Hook 2-4 wiimotes to iPhone. Instant game system, and according to some game developers the iPhone 3Gs has more power than the Wii.

Lots of uses for the ir camera in the wiimote as well (white board stuff, multitouch surfaces, etc).

Why not use it as a “pen” text interface for the sms and mail and im apps? Write your msg with the wii on an immaginary piece of paper in middle air and the phone recognizes the letters and transforms it into standard text!
Btw, the iphone does have text recognition for the touchscreen?

FAKE!

That is a good idea to combine iphone with Wiimote. I Got a Wiimote. But i do not know how to use Wiimote to control my sciphone i9+++ which is bought from a Chinese website( http://www.exportsupermart.com). This phone is a cloned one, not real. I try your idea for a long time, but it can not work. Can anyone help?

Posted at 11:10 pm on Aug 9th, 2009 by vincent

this would be cool but who carries around a wiimote all the time?

Solution- disguise the wiimote as a light saber and attach it to your belt. Whip it out and instead of using your dirty fingers to touch and choose. You can use your “light saber” to scroll through and choose. Cant wait till this thing takes off!!
