You don't have to do anything to turn it into a camera, it has a camera in it.  Once it's connected by bluetooth you just select it in Freetrack as the source and your all set.

Done that but freetrack doesn't recognise it. I'm using a mini bluenext BT I got from ebay and vista 64bit using bluesoliel. The drivers don't seem to be working as they should (! mark on it in device manager). Getting frustrated now. All the sites on google mention using glovepie and some other things. All seems a bit complicated really. Thought it would be alot easier. Do you think it could be that my BT device isnt compatible. Can you tell or show me with a screenshot what your wiimote comes up as in device manager. Or let me know what driver it is using.

Ok I'll try that instead. In device manager mine just comes up as a bluetooth HID device. Is that what it should say?

Do I need to be using glovepie or anything. A step by step tutorial for getting this working would be great. Like recommended BT devices and software and so on.

it sounds like your adaptor is incompatible, i couldn't press start with the ms stack but i could with the blusoleil stack, check these lists

You don't need glovepie.  Glovepie is a program that allows you to program the wii remote for various uses such as a remote control for Windows Media Player.  It has nothing to do with Freetrack.

To see if your BT device is compatible with Blusoleil, try this program that checks your hardware http://www.bluesoleil.com/download/index.asp?topic=hardwarecheck

Here are step by step instructions for using the wiimote.

(These steps are for blusoleil so if your using other software it may vary slightly. Other software should be fairly similar.  Note that some other software may ask for a securtiy code, if there is an option, skip the security code)

1. Install bluetooth device drivers/software.
2. Right click on bluetooth symbol in system tray, select Explore Bluetooth Places.
3. Press the 1 and 2 button on the wiiremote at the same time.  4 LED's on wiimote should flash.
4. While LED's are still flashing, double click Search Devices.
5. A icon that looks like a Joystick should appear in the window.
6. Make sure LED's are still flashing and right click on the Joystick Icon and select connect.  Your wiimote should now be connected and the LED's should continue flashing without pressing 1 and 2. (You can right click on the Joystick Icon and select status, this will give you a connection strength indicator)
7. Open Freetrack 2.2, select wii remote as source, click start, the LED's will stop flashing and stay solid.

After doing this for the first time, as long as you don't power off the Wiimote, you can just open Freetrack and begin using.  If you power off the Wiimote for any reason, begin with step 6
This should be all you have to do.

Is it possible with that BlueSoleil to skip the 2nd time connection? I would like to have a situation that after a successful connection the first time e.g. on the next day it is enough to power ON Wii remote and BlueSoleil should find and connect it automagically... I hope it can possible. Any hints how to get it working like that?

Backed up everything on my pc last night will re-install vista tonight. Everytime I try to install the latest bluesoleil it always fails halfway and rolls off any changes. I have three BT devices to chose from a mini one from ebay called bluenext seems to work an old one I got ages ago which I think works but Im not going to use it and one I bought fro tescoes which is on the wii compatability list as working. Fingers crossed.

Only way to do this is don't power off the Wii Remote when your not using it.  It doesn't eat up the battery when you leave it on because it's not being used.  So until you need to change the battery's you can just open FT and go.
