Using a wiimote with LabVIEW

[Nik1]

@Kovacs

Yes, we've run the Test.exe and it's telling us that everything is fine, it's picking up both the LED points and returning data properly. We've also tried using a new Wiimote and the same problem occurs.

@ Kovacs, It's all fine now, it seems there was a file misplaced/copied in the Wiimote library which was causing this mess-up. Thanks for your feedback anyway!

[Kovacs]

Good to hear!

I'm glad you found out what the problem was, I know how frustrating something like that can be.

[Kovacs]

Hmm.. okay so with a regular sensor bar I get two readings (629 & 156) for my Raw X Values, but when you unbundle the IRState on your block diagram, the "Raw X Values" element will only give you the first reading. How do I obtain the second?

Maybe this helps? I opened the SubVI of IRState, but it's not giving me any ideas how to obtain the second Raw X Value (when using a regular (2 LEDs) sensor bar).

Since I can see the value being displayed on the front panel surely there's some way to get access to it.. or am I misinterpreting something here perhaps?

I'm not sure what you mean by the second raw X value and where you want to get this from.  But it is probably just a matter of using unbundle by name and index array properly.

[Kovacs]

Index Array.. turns out that's exactly it.

Thanx!

[Kovacs]

I don't suppose it's possible to connect the same wiimote to two different computers, right?

I'm aiming to use the wiimote on one computer and collecting data with it on another (where LabVIEW is installed) (both of them on the same network).

I think I have to come up with something else.

What do you mean by using the Wiimote on one computer and collecting data on the other one? Because in both ways you are using the Wiimote.

Ps. You can let the computers communicate together 😉

[Kovacs]

Hmm.. so what you're saying is I could connect the Wiimote to one computer and then use TCP or something to get the signal across in order for LabVIEW (installed on the other) to read the wiimote data?

I'm using the VIs created by S. Shearman, it's not necessary to use them from the same computer where the Wiimote is connected to (as long as I can get the wiimote signal to it)? (Please excuse my ignorance, I'm not that technical but I'm trying.)
