With the wiimote compatible coming in the next release. I have some ideas to use with it, but I need real numbers on the users before I start.
Thank you

I ain't got a wii, so would be kinda useless to buy one just for free-track wouldn't it ? :P
I could buy a wii just for the fun of it ofc  |

Lol, thats what I did. But I bought it used, so it wasn't any more than $20.00. It looks like someone's dog chewed on it, but does the job.

It will connect via bluetooth, requires no modification, gets 100 fps, and uses virtually no cpu. Thats how it works.

Stupid question, you don't need the wii that goes with those remotes do you ?
And is there an option to connect through usb?

Yeah, you just need the Wiimote and you can buy it without the Wii  .
About using USB, you can buy one USB dongle bluetooth adapter.

Hi Marcus,
I bought the wii controler especially for FreeTrack. Ok, I have also checked out, if the whiteboard solution works (it works fine by the way), but the main reason was the upcoming wii support in FreeTrack 2.2.
Now I am waiting for the release (didja told me, it takes only "weeks"). I have built the cap and tested it with a simple wii remote test program ( Wii Remote Lib for .net by Brian Peek). The connection of the remote with the pc is done with a simple bluetooth adapter. It was easy to accomplish.
I hope, that FreeTrack will work with my "setup".
Bye, Willy. |

I will be doing the same. Getting a Wiimote just for freetrack.
Will be getting my self a webcam (vx1000) this weekend to get my first set done and to learn howto.
But as soon as support comes out for the wiimote im there =)
100fps and close to no cpu at all... sounds to good to miss.

will the wii remote work for a LED setup only, or will it use the reflective mode as well, like track IR ?, will definatly buy the remote either way, as i have a track IR 4 reflective cap device already.
my origanal track ir died after only 3 months use, so i am very reluctant to perchase another one. cant wait for the 2.2 release and the wii implimentation, i really miss the 6dof aspect in the sim.
