I have had 20 of DacoTaco's v2 board created, fully assembled (with connector). With assembly included, it was just a smidge more to get 20 versus the minimum of 5. So I figured why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

If you would like to purchase one, I am offering 18 of them for $50 each to anywhere in US ($40 for unit + $10 for shipping). WML-C43 included. If you are outside US but still want one, we can work out the shipping cost. Please PM me if you are interested. We can use Paypal or Venmo.

Each unit will be tested on my Windows machine before being sent out. Shipping will probably be slow, as I have a full time job, and mainly bought these for my emulation stations. I can't really offer a warranty on these, but I'll pack them up as well as possible for shipping.

I'm a newbie here on the Dolphin forum, but I've been using Dolphin on my emulation stations for years. I got these made after getting fed-up with alternative solutions for Wiimote connections that were subpar. I've kept DacoTaco informed on progress with these as well, and he is cool with me offering them for sale. 

Hi Abbie Doobie!

Sorry for my very bad english.
If i understand correctly, this item of yours is a Wii Bluetooth Module wired in USB that you can directly connect on a PC/Windows to use as a BT dongle for Dolphin via Bluetooth Passtrough? (like the item described here: https://rys.pw/converting_wii_s_bluetooth_module_to_a_usb_dongle).

If it is, i'm very very interested and ready to pay the item + shipping fees (Paris, France).
I was unable to reach you via MP, can we discuss via mail instead if possible?

Thanks by advance!

im going to wait a few days and see if abbie returns (and if not ill poke him again lol)

i can say that yes, the item is plug and play.
all you need is a micro USB cable to connect to the pcb.
abbie ships them from the US which might be a bit expensive, but i have a prototype lying around that can be shipped from belgium if thats cheaper.
but i'd prefer abbie to sell his stock first

Hi DacoTaco!

Thank you for your answer and for your awesome work on this project!
I can't wait to finally enjoy Skyward Sword in the best way possible.

I'll wait for Abbie's answer.

Hey everyone, I'm sorry for the long delay. I hadn't seen an email from the dolphin forums in quite sometimes, so I figured I'd check in to be safe... good thing I did!

Not sure why I didn't get email notifications. I would like to offer these out to people, they are just collecting dust

edit: Paypal has a neat invoicing system! I'd prefer to use that. To speed things up, if your PM includes Paypal as well as shipping address, I can invoice immediately and move faster.

Hi Abbie!

Thank you for your answer
Sadly I can't reply to your PM... (see picture attached) and I don't know what to do about it.

Maybe you could send me your e-mail via PM (I can see your messages) so I can send you my paypal adress?

I'll PM you the info, but just to make sure I understand cause I'm not the sharpest, the boards you had made are essentially PnP?  I wouldn't need to solder anything?

PM'ing might go wrong due to user limitations (when not enough posts are made). hope that wasn't the case here

and @dreday78 : yes, the boards are fully assembled like i displayed in a previous post ( picture here and here ) and require only a micro usb cable.

Thanks, I thought so just wanted to be sure.

Hey everyone, I am going to start shipping this week

I have received a few more PMs, and will get invoices out this week to those interested.

For anybody that is unable to PM, I've created an email (contactabbiedoobie@gmail.com). Please be sure to send your Paypal and Shipping Address.

Hi Guys

I have made a module as  per schematic on page  7 and checked all my wiring. It looks good.

However, I cant get the dongle to work in Dolphin.

Windows recognizes it okay, I can see the controller after installing it in devices.

I am not sure how to get it going.

Any help much appreciated. Thanks
