I am quite puzzeled over this because I bought a wii and everythig works and is fine, but the other day I lwas looking on youtube when I saw sombodys tv while playing a game and the sensor bar was lit up and it wasnt my eyes or a reflection because the person acturly stated the the sensor bar was lighting up. Is this because the sensor bar i have go tis the one that came with the wii rather than one bought on its own?
one of the easiest to follow and best ” how – to ” video on youtube for extending your wii sensor bar. iv’e documented every piece so you will know what to expect if you wish to extend your sensor bar. the video may be quite long, but its information packed and will help you achieve the proper connections and have peace of mind at the same time. ( only mod if you think you are capable of achieving the same results. i cannot accept responsibility for failed attempts / injury or malfunctioning hardware. you take the risk on your own bat, soldering requires a bit of skill and steady hands. you should wear protective clothing and also glasses for this mod . i do not recommend anyone under the age of 16 to attempt this mod alone ) remember, its your health and property. if you feel like you cant do it, dont worry. there are plenty of aftermarket products which cater for this very solution. take care.
My wii sensor bar broke the other day…
and my friend says an alternative solution to a replacement sensor bar are a set of 2 LED lights on each side.
I just want to make sure he is right before I go purchase the LED lights.
I broke my Wii sensor bar a couple weeks ago and I don’t want to use candles or LED lights. Is there any way I can get a replacement Wii sensor bar? Preferably free?
I am unsure why the wii sensor bar comes off of the wii. i do not have a wii but am planning on getting one. if someone could just explain it to me that would be great!
Quick note: Yes, this is the ORIGINAL Sensor Bar candle video. After this was posted, many others followed suit, including Joystiq.com. IGN.com even made several references to it in their articles an blogs, and someone referenced it in Wikipedia. Many have heard that the Wii’s Sensor Bar does not really sense anything at all but that the remote does all the detection sort of like a monochrome digital camera. What many do not realize is that the Sensor Bar is just two sets of IR leds that emit just enough light to be detected by the remote for triangulation. Knowing this, I decided to do an experiment. I turned out all the lights in my living room and lit two candles about three feet apart beneath my projector screen, seeing as they emit several wavelengths of light, both visible and beyond. Surprisingly it worked atleast as well as Sensor Bar when directly in front of the screen (but worse far to the left or right) because of the combination of increased IR light output and increased distance. Any two IR sources will potentially work in this manner (including two TV/DVD remotes with any buttons held). The video was recorded on a Cingular 8125 set to “cool” (bluescale) to capture enough light. I wish I could’ve used a higher-quality capture method, but the low light made it difficult. At the beginning of the video, I hold up the pack-in sensor bar to show that it is not plugged into the Wii (since it’s tough to tell in the very low light of the room). I then grab the Wii …
if i set up my wii sensor bar already, could i remove it and place it elsewhere. or does the adhesive part of the sensor bar prevent me from detaching it? ty in advanced.
This is a homemade wireless Wii sensor bar. Check out how to make it so you projector owners won’t be left out in the cold! More information about the build: doctabu.livejournal.com
Looks like its a magnetic thing because there is discoloration on the left and right side, one is dark, the other is like a green when white or lighter colors are showing. Theres nothing magnetic around the tv, other than the wii sensor bar on top and the use of the controllors. Would the sensor bar or the wireless controllors cause my tv to discolor?
