Sensor Bar Questions - George Spiggott - 06-24-2019
I'm thinking of buying this sensor bar:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07P5D1N7M/?coliid=I1HPV7W9F80G6S&colid=37WK4370DWKP9&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Is this suitable for Dolphin? I must admit I don't really know how the sensor bar works so I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for. I assume that it communicates with the Wiimote and the wired version only take power from the Wii or is it Bluetooth like the Wiimote?

Yes. (I just wonder why they included "Dolphin Bar" in the title when it's actually nothing like the Mayflash DolphinBar...)

The only way in which it communicates is by emitting constant infrared light, so that the Wii Remote will know where the screen is. Nothing more.

That's correct.

Nope, no Bluetooth.
