    Now what sensor is the Wii using?

    Very cool app! Thanks for posting, Beau.

    BTW, the Wiimote uses a custom sensor from Pixart Imaging (Taiwan).

    Dang Beau you're very persuasive, you've convinced me to try it.

    Wow, very surprising, it was quite easy to do under windows xp. I could almost fool someone for thinking my laptop had a touch screen! I didn't have to install anything to make the bluetooth work, after inserting the $2 bluetooth device windows downloaded everything I needed automatically.

    Next step, Linux...

    Any chance the Prop will have a bluetooth stack to make it work?

    Very cool!

    I don't know if this was mentioned, but the Xbox 360 Kinect has also been "hacked" to do all sorts of cool stuff:

    I bet you could do lots of fun multi touch stuff, like the wii whiteboard. Also, if you mount it on one of parallax's larger robots and put a little atom board on it, you could get some neat mapping applications going.

    I have been reading about the Wiimote for a while now. I really want to learn how to read the accelerometer data into an easy bluetooth module to control my BOE bot.
