Re: [sc-users] WiimoteLib

[William Brent <william.brent@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just gave the restart a shot now, but it's the same story.  Maybe
I'll try this on a different computer as a reality check.  But it's
very strange because I've been working reliably with SC code that
relies on Wii data via DarwiinOSC for a couple months now.  So
communication between this laptop and the Wii remote is clearly not an
issue.  My motivation for looking into WiimoteLib is to get access to
the control data directly in UGens instead of passing it from the
lang.

If anyone else has any suggestions, let me know...

Thanks,
William
