I have almost 20 ir led transmitters and receivers around , i was wondering if i could make a diy wii bar with them , amazon/retail sellers dont ship to my location so making one is easier than buying one.

Would a old nokia charger be enough to power 10 leds without burning them.

Please help me ?

Type DIY sensorbar into google.

Two IR LEDs would likely be sufficient. I've used candles in a pinch, and even used a TV remote for a quick "let me start a game that only used the GCN controller".

It's probably best to mimic the official sensor bars design as close as possible. The official design has 4 LEDs, two on each side.

Which in human is 10 (2 banks of 5) for the old model which had LEDs with a very poor viewing angle, and 6 (2x3) in the newer model whose LEDs were brighter and had a greater viewing angle. As long as if when you put a camera in every possible position for the wiimote, it can see the IR light, then you have enough LEDs. Multiple LEDs are only used to fill in blind spots.
