ok one question is the homade one stronger then the normal sensor bar?
Why spend 10 dollars when a sensor v=bar is included?????????
I think you’re not paying enough attention.
This one is wireless.
It also means that you don’t need to turn on your Wii if you want to use your wiimote with your computer.
why dont you use the wii like they intended
because the sensor bar that comes with the wii has wires, which dont extend far enough from the console for projector set ups.
how long does one battery last?
How long is the sensor bar wire on the one supplied with the Wii?
Is it only two 1,5 Volts bataries and two white leds? Nice! I’m gonna test this, thx alot
Very nice, thx for the vid.
Great Video
wouldn’t the infrared burn out cause it is directly connected to the power source?
Really cool can’t wait to try it.
Thanks for your comment, too.
trying that tomorrow thanks
Your Welcome!
Thanks for the video. This is the simpilist and easiest solution i found.
Your welcome! I’m glad that I could help!
course you could just lengthen the sensor bar’s cord with cheap speaker wire or power it with an old wall wort.
Wow! You are a pretty good ventriloquist! And the dummy is so lifelike! Just kidding, good vid!
@givemeafuknbreak111 Thank you! And thanks for watching!
You really only need 1 LED. I think it has 2 just in case a person stands in front of one of them. Look at ebay item 220522107668 or view other amazing items by user shakespeare1212. By the way my offer is $8.75 shipped anywhere in the US and NONE of your time, unless you count hitting the buy now button and maybe filling in your address as time. If you’d like to buy two, I’ll send two for $15.85, not a problem. They are backed with double stick tape to stay firmly whereever you place them.
@sykopomp Thou knowest of the Wii Interactive White board system?!?
griffyboy0 You are correct. My IR source is 4.5 volts with two LEDs, one IR LED and one power indicator. It uses a 22 ohm current limiting resistor. Have I done well?
The Wii remote has a high resolution infra-red camera in the front. When it sees the IR LED it plots it’s position up or down, left or right X and Y if you will and it reports these back to the Wii or if you’re smart a computer over bluetooth communication. View: “Low-cost Multi-touch Interactive White board” hear on YouTube for more information.
@Niko381 If you only used the one 1.5 volt battery then if should not hurt the LED, depending on the quality of the unit. The TSAL 6400 from Vishay will hand up to 6 volts in the wrong direction and be fine. Before throwing that LED away I would double check your connections. It might not be working because of a lose wire, not because it’s blown.
@mrsalubriousmacca I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tripped over that damm wire. Someday I may ruin a $199.00 Wii console in the process.
