Re: [sc-users] Wii, Bluetooth and SC?



isn't the wii a bluetooth device?
if this is the case - stephan kesrten has added serial port support to the lang.
it's called SerialPort and should read in bluetooth serial data imo.

btw what kind of data does the wii remote actually send?
does it send roll-pitch-yaw or only raw sensor info?

I am working on making changes to the HID API.  I'd like to see any
HID (no matter how the OS deals with it) follow a sane api, which
should be the same for all hids, imo.

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.
