WiimoteLogger and Ubuntu
Hello,
the Whiteboard ist great work. Unfortunately i cannot use the WiimoteLogger under Ubuntu 9.04. I copied with zip the bluecove already into the WiimoteLogger.jar, described for WiiWhiteboard but the start fail.
SCHWERWIEGEND: Application class org.uweschmidt.wiimote.logger.WiimoteLogger failed to launch java.lang.IllegalStateException: Bluetooth failed to initialize. There is probably a problem with your local Bluetooth stack or API.
Can you help me

Re: WiimoteLogger and Ubuntu
Hi,
I just checked WiimoteLogger.jar and realized that I created it in a different way (in comparison to Wiimote Whiteboard). Try starting Wiimote Logger like that:
java -cp bluecove-gpl-2.0.3.jar -jar WiimoteLogger.jar

Re: WiimoteLogger and Ubuntu
Thanks for your help,
but still the programm doesn’t start. I can connect the wiimote via bluetooth described in http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Wiimote but
sudo java -cp bluecove-gpl-2.1.0.jar -jar WiimoteLogger.jar(i tried with and without sudo and also the bluecove-gpl-2.0.3.jar as you suggested)
always ends with a lot of failures.

Hi,
Thanks for your help, but still the programm doesn’t start.
I was just guessing that it might work. After starting my dusty linux box and actually trying it myself, I found this to be working:
java -cp bluecove-gpl-2.0.3.jar:WiimoteLogger.jar org.uweschmidt.wiimote.logger.WiimoteLogger

Re: WiimoteLogger and Ubuntu
On my Ubuntu system it still hangs.
I tried sun-java (java-6-sun-1.6.0.13) and open java but the error remains. My system is Ubuntu 9.04 with the above mentioned java versions.
Native Library bluecove not available 19.05.2009 17:43:24 org.jdesktop.application.Application$1 run SCHWERWIEGEND: Application class org.uweschmidt.wiimote.logger.WiimoteLogger failed to launch java.lang.IllegalStateException: Bluetooth failed to initialize. There is probably a problem with your local Bluetooth stack or API.
Currently i’am using gtkwhiteboard and wminput and there is no connection problem.
For me the WiimoteLogger would enhance my physics lessons tremendously.
Thanks for your work and help.

Hi,

I’m running Ubuntu 8.04 with Java (Sun) version 1.6.0_07 on a 32-bit machine. I found this post which may the explanation for your problem.
I made a new release that uses BlueCove 2.1 (and the newer WiiRemoteJ 1.6a). It should be started like this: java -cp bluecove-gpl-2.1.0.jar:WiimoteLogger.jar org.uweschmidt.wiimote.logger.WiimoteLogger

It is working now! Great Work ;-)
Thanks for your help.
as normal user it is still not working correctly
java -cp bluecove-gpl-2.1.0.jar:WiimoteLogger.jar org.uweschmidt.wiimote.logger.WiimoteLogger 24.05.2009 19:45:21 com.sun.corba.se.impl.ior.IORImpl getProfile WARNUNG: "IOP00511201: (INV_OBJREF) IOR must have at least one IIOP profile"
but as sudo it works fine. (normal user can’t save data to a file)
Now i have the next problem, because i am a german user, the comma is used as decimal separator and you use it as a field seperator. data looks like that:
0,019, 1, -0,222222, 0,189474, 0,932039, 0, 0 0,081, 1, -0,244444, 0,168421, 0,970874, 0, 0
it is no real problem to import it to openoffice using fixed width, but it is a bit harder to use tools like gnuplot. Is there a possibility to use tabs or semicolon as field seperator?
Thanks J. Almer

Hi,

that’s odd, maybe you don’t have the permissions for the folder you want to save the file to.
Is there a possibility to use tabs or semicolon as field seperator?
Yes, it’s defined in WiimoteDataHandler.java in line 66: private static final String SEP = “, “;
So you could just download the source code, change SEP to whatever you like and compile & start the app with the included Ant build script. I don’t really want to make a new release just because of that.
An easier solution would be to just change the locale to English to get a point instead of a comma as decimal separator:
java -Duser.language=en -cp bluecove-gpl-2.1.0.jar:WiimoteLogger.jar org.uweschmidt.wiimote.logger.WiimoteLogger

The trick with the locale is working fine.
There was a mistake in my failure description. WiimoteLogger is also working for a normal user, but sometimes it doesn’t connect correctly to the Wiimote and then you can’t see the battery status. But a new start normally fix the problem (no user problems)
Thanks for all your help and for the fantastic programm.

I’ve been experiencing the same thing. Maybe it is due to the bluecove-gpl-2.1.0.jar.

Hallo Uwe, I want to test your script under windows 2000 SP4, but I can’t start it. Doubleklick onWiimoteLogger.jar and nothing happens what can I do?
Thanks Chris
