Homemade IR Sensor Bar????? - adrian2055 - 11-22-2009
Hey guys,
I finally got my wiimote working (thanks for all the help). Now I have a quick question. I've been hearing about a way to make a homemade wii sensor bar. Naturally, I came here for help instead of reading the many messed up answers that yahoo and google can produce. What do I need to make one for myself?

Try turning to youtube, if you can learn to trust it, i recall seeing a few videos on this.

I made one recently
you need at least 2 IR LEDs seperated by few centimeters distance.
I made mine to plug into the computer usb. if you want more info I will be glad to share the design and the components
regards

I forgot to say that you can use two candles ( I did it once and it worked )

Candles trick works, but use it carefully

actually I'm only using candles since I've tried once...I did buy a wireless sensorbar but 1. it needs a lot of batteries (which are more expensive then candles
) and 2. the candles even seem to work better for me ^^Only you cannot have any other candles burning in the room, for obvious reasons...

I started with the candle root.
apart of setting your pc on fire, the other problem that my eyes start to hurt me,
staring in the candles for a long time is bad for your eyes, even if you are not looking directly into them

turn on the lights of the room ;P

Thanks! I would love to know how to make one. I will try to use candles for now until I get one made.
