My wii sensor bar broke. while waiting for the new one could I put 2 ps3 controllers side by side and use that as the partial replacement. Its been proven you can do that with the inferred, but will I damage my ps3 controllers or my wii?
My friend and I are college students and he decided to bring his wii, but we forgot the sensor bar. So we searched it up and found a video of people using candles, unfortunately we can’t have flames. So we looked up more videos and found the remote trick and it worked!
Hi!
I bought a wii wireless sensor bar, and it worked fine. Then the batteries died, and after I put fresh one sin, it wouldn’t work. I can get the wired one to, but not the wireless one. Can you help me?
I like using the Wii Remote as a mouse and controller for games on my PC using GlovePie, but my Wii is not normally near my computer, so using it’s censor bar required moving the entire system. I decided to try to build a sensor bar that I could just use at my PC – It works okay, but not quite as good as I would like. The mouse is a little jumpy. Despite this, it seems to work just fine when I put it on top of my TV and play the wii. Pretty much normal. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Edit: I forgot to mention, i’m not really that technical, so I conferred with my brother on resisters and such. He told me to use a 3 ohm resister, but they didn’t have any, so he told me I could use two tens, and lower their resistance to 5. This project may not need resisters, but I figured the LEDs will last longer if they are not at their max.
i just bought a projector and a 2.5m screen…do i need a larger sensor bar and can i get a wireless one?
also for pc use do i need a special mouse or software for wireless hardware like mice and light guns?
This video demonstrates Johnny Lee’s technique for turning your display into a virtual 3D window. We hooked up a laptop to the television with an HDMI cable and used the laptop’s bluetooth connectivity to communicate with the Wii Remote. We were then able to use the Wii Sensor Bar as an Infra-red tracking mechanism to relate our position relative to the television and render the imagery accordingly. The results were quite impressive. Note that the laptop is what actually runs the VR software. The Wii Remote and Sensor Bar are simply used to relay positional information back to the laptop. We are compiling instructions for you to do this yourself at unews.me Thanks to Johnny Lee (johnnylee.net) for developing this wonderful application, and we’re looking forward to seeing this sort of technology evolve in the future!
I just found out that the maximum distance from the sensor bar is 10ft, but does that include buttons (not motion). So would I be able to just use buttons further than 10ft away?
This is an easy do-it-yourself project if you have your Wii connected to a projector and it is all for about ! myspace.com/wiidoesrule That’s the website…hope you like it!
I just got a Wii and i have the sensor bar sitting on top of my TV. then above all that on the wall is a mirror. does this affect anything with my Wii? I have not noticed much but sometimes it does seem weird…but then again i have only been playing for a few hours so far?
