Wii-Mote Driver for OSX Leopard

I don't have Leopard to try it out. Can anyone else answer his question?

Hi!

Just reading your page & curious to know if your app runs on Leopard?

I have managed to connect the Wiimote as a 'remote control' in System Preferences, but as yet no additional control. Does your system allow for moving the mouse yet? I bought a battery-powered Sensor Bar, so ought to be good to go!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

New Wii Mote Applications for OSX and Windows

It's good to see the Japanese have started to hack their Wii's already! Well, wii-motes anyway...


Hirolog posted this Wii-Mote Application for OSX which allows you to control and monitor several features of the Wii-Mote using OSX. There is also a mouse mode, but the calibration of my wii-mote must be different because my mouse pointer keeps going to the bottom left corner of the screen when it's active.

More Info From Hirolog:

  • DarwiinRemote is a tiny software which reads data from and sends data to Nintendo Wii Remote
    • Inputs
      • 3-axis acceleration sensors
      • all buttons except power button on/off
    • Output
      • 4 LEDs
      • Force Feedback
  • DarwiinRemote makes us control other applications by using Wii Remote
    • but now only supports "AppleRemote" mode...
Download the software here:

UPDATE: 12/10/06 - DarwiinRemote 0.3 is released!! This version supports IR sensor and motion sensor calibration. Enjoy!

New Project Page:

Also, from our new Japanese friends, here is another Japanese Wii Hacking Website which has similar software for Windows called WiinRemote.

Wiimote Driver for OSX - RVL-CNT-01


Cliff has released an app for Mac OSX which will allow you to pair the Wiimote with your Mac to view and send commands. This is NOT a full blown driver, but now that the initial hooks have been made it will be much easier for other developers to get in on the action to start coding the other parts of the driver.

You can download RVL Enabler for OSX from Cliff's site:

Source Code is here:

UPDATE: A new OSX application for controlling the wiimote has bee posted here.
