Wiimote movement not picking up

03-26-2011, 06:39 PM #1

I'm running r7390m x64. i7 720qm, 4gb ram, gt330. I have the real wiimote connected to bluetooth. All of the buttons work fine but my sensor won't pick up the movements. I do have a wireless infrared sensor bar. My setup has worked before but I recently got my hd wiped through warranty repair. Any ideas on what could be the problem or how I can check if its my wiimote's problem, sensor bar, or the revision itself?

Instead of the Sensor Bar you can use 2 candles.
Just put them left and right ( 20cm difference ) and try it then.
If the movement works then ur sensorbar is damaged I gues.

Well it shouldn't take very long to try another revision to see if that fixes the problem. If not, seeing as you have a wireless sensorbar, i'm assuming it's runing on batteries? Perhaps they are out of power?

Edit: I should add that wheter the buttons are working or not has nothing to do with the sensorbar not picking up the IR signal.

The red light that indicates that the sensor bar is on lights up. Is there anyway I can check to see if the infrared is working? Not like I can see it, but some inexpensive way to check.

Well, don't take me up on this this, because i don't remember for sure, but i think you can take a picture of the sensorbar with a camera. If you can see a blue glow (i think its blue atleast) on the picture, it should be working.

tested myself, got a TV remote and a digital camera and i could see a blue/white light from the remote
