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?

This is a video of everything you need to make you wireless Wii sensor bar for about !

A quick video showing the IR transmitters contained within the Nintendo Wii Sensor Bar

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.

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!

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!

You can use candles in place of a Sensor Bar to point with the Wii-Mote. Try it out yourself!

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?

I recently read that you can replace the Wii sensor bar with two candles. Apparently the wiimote uses two points of infrared light at either end of the sensor bar. Now I can use my projector. Woohoo!

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.

What better way to celebrate the festival of lights than using a menorah as a substitute sensor bar?
