I joined this list recently because I saw some discussion of the wiimote. Pete Moss said he had a half written plugin. Mr. Moss, do you feel like sharing? It might be worthwhile to look at the code for HIDs, since they're closest to what is desired. I think it would be preferable to treat the wii like a normal HID as much as possible, rather than have a separate protocol.
sure, i like to share!i have not gotten it to work as a plugin. i have however added OSC support to DarwiinRemote in a private branch. it works well, but relies on an OSCresponder to deal with the data. i hope to commit this new version this weekend. i will drop a note here when it is available.
ultimately, treating as an HID device would be best, but the wiimote cant be setup as as a HID in the OS. if someone wrote a new driver that would attach it to the OS properly, then it should work as an HID without altering SC. as far as i can tell, the HID code just talks to the OS to find the devices.
i could add some primitives to talk to the wii with SC, but there is no way to do that as a plugin currently, and if it was added to SC, then *everyone* would have to have the required frameworks to compile it. if anyone know how to do this without forcing it on everyone, i am all ears.
