Wii Ultra Wireless Sensor Bar

[ulao]

Have you guys seen this thing?

History: I have been working with a hacked wii bar for some time now. The best I can get is 10 feet away before my cursor goes nutty. I used a 7 volt source and designed a circuit to give the leds the best possible output. I went through quite a few wii bars before I got it perfect. At any rate I saw this at gameStop. I had to check it out and was about $20USD.

Experience: Wow, this thing is incredible. I still get my 10 foot range ( there is an adjustment for it on the bar ) plus it has an auto 1/2 hour off feature if you forget things like me. And its not a cheep piece of junk.

Design: It uses 4 AA bats so its 6 volts, ideal for the best possible output with many LEDs. Nothing hols a "candle" to this wireless device I tell you. Yes pun was intended.

So for anyone you trying to convert to usb and sick of them flimsy wireless jobs, this is the one you want.

Wow, this looks very powerful. How much does this sensorbar costs?

Thats bad product it will eat your batteries. It works great but breaks easily. If you make it work with a power supply maybe it will be ok...

I use it, it works fine for me. As long as you remember tk turn it off after you use it the batteries aren't much of an issue. By default it turns itself off after two hours, but you can push a button to hange it to one hour.

That is how I do it, changed batteries once since I started the post.

What do i do?
Get a new bluetooth dongle
new sensor bar
new wii remote

So it's an official remote right?

Use 2 glass candles to check the wiimote
If you see the pointer with those candle -> Sensor bar problem

Oh, wait - where are you pointing the remote? Directly at the sensor bar, above, below?
