WiiMote Accelerometer doesn't work

12-19-2009, 07:03 AM #1

Hello,

I recently started using my WiiMote with my PC.
I managed to connect it easily through Bluetooth on Windows 7. Worked seamlessly.

I fired up GlovePie for testing, everything works as it should, it controls my cursor and everything (very cool by the way).

However in Dolphin, I only get the Buttons (A, B) to work. Swinging the WiiMote around gives no effect of any sort.
The game I used for testing is the Wii Sports pack you get standard with your Wii.

Is this a common problem? Or is it an option I have to enable.

Thanks,
Bart

Do you have a sensor bar ?

Yes I do.
Shouldn't it also detect simple wrist-movements?

yes , it does

Try to see if the accelerometer works in the recording window ( there appears the forces in the three directions x , z , y )

My sensor bar is out of charge, but Wiimote accelerometer works fine

Hm, I get response in the "Recording" panel.
I see bars moving up and down, looks promising :-)

In-Game however, still nothing.
Could it be the game? I'll try another later.

Mm....The sensor bar to detect the moves such as roll, pitch, etc. I dont know if you can play without. I use it to play SSBB with my wiimote.
