Wiimote sensor? - Zard256 - 12-07-2009
Hello everyone. I'm new to this emulator and I'm a little confused. How do you guys set up the wiimote to pick up movement? Is there a PC sensor bar? I've read a way to make your own but I'm looking for more options.
1. Windows 7 32-bit
2. Intel Duo P8600 2.4Ghz
3. Nvidia 9700M GT
4. Dolphin R4525 (I think) lol
P.S. Thank you for this emulator, this gives me a reason to keep my wii since it's started eating disks on me.

Any light source or infrared light will do, but they do sell this things, look here http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=wii+sensor&x=0&y=0
The sensor bar has nothing to do with the software (dolphin) or your pc, its just an infrared light source, so i suggest you make your own.
You could also use your wii's, just make some kind of adapter for a power supply (or battery) of the voltage needed, i think is 1.5v ? im not sure.

you just need 2 infrared emitting sources. those sources can be a two candles or simply two (or more) infrared LEDs(powered by batteries or usb).
here are some links:

the wii sensorbar doesnt "sensor" anything. it just emitting infrared and the infrared camera build into the wiimote detects the two glowing lights. thats all.
you only need a bluetooth stick to connect your wiimote to the pc.
heres my sensorbar:

look for cheap 1 dollar ones on amazon or ebay.. with shipping and handling, the total is less than 4 dollars.

your choices are:
1- get third party one battery powered
2- use your existing wii sensor bar
3- make your own and power it via USB (this is what I done)

4- Use two candles ( I use two birthday candles
)
RE: Wiimote sensor? - razor1911 - 12-12-2009
yeah candles can do the job nicely, however I dont think you want those close to your monitor
RE: Wiimote sensor? - James333 - 12-12-2009
Why not ? ( I use two birthday candles and I don't think that they can burn anything )

It would probably be more economical and less of a mess to just buy a wireless sensor bar. I like my Nyko.
