Nintendo Wiimote and Nunchuk!

[Pinnacle [Rob]]

Pinnacle v4.x is now compatible with Nintendo Wiimote and Nunchuk (also Classic Controller too!)

The Wii mote can be used to do everything that you can do with a normal controller in Pinnacle, and I have plans for MUCH more speciality stuff to come in the future.

So anyone using Pinnacle with the Wiimote, please provide feedback here about how well it works (or doesn't work)... and also I would like to hear ideas that you may have about what you'd like to see Pinnacle be able to do with a Wiimote.

Sounds like we'll see some amazing things coming out of Pinnacle for these devices.

I might have to buy one!

You would have to find an adapter to plug one end into the wiimote, and the other to plug into a usb.

probably not hard to find on the net if you look around

No... actually there is no adapter needed since Wiimote is a Bluetooth device. The only thing you need is a Bluetooth adapter (which many PCs already have, if not you can get a nice little USB plug in adapter for about $20)

Hi Rob,

I've read some posts where you mentioned future support for the wiimote and IR sensor to use the thing as a mouse, it was some time ago. So far i couldnt find any info if PGP supports it currently.

Can you confirm or deny the support for the IR sensor and usage as a mouse?

Kind regards, Berend

Well I don't know how you could tell... I guess if you don't see any Bluetooth software programs in your START menu, then it was probably not anything you got with your computer. But you can get a bluetooth adapter for about $20... mine plugs in to my USB and looks like one of those flash stick things.

I've been using Pinnacle for over a year now, love the software. So, i don't get it, is IR supposed to work for the Wiimote, or is it not? The tilt sensors are working and all, but I don't see any options for using the IR sensor as the mouse.
