Hi Andy,
it looks like you did everything right. I don’t have a Linux machine for testing right now…
(I already have BlueZ installed. I’m pretty sure it’s standard on all Ubuntu installations)
Did you take a look at David’s comment?

John Ramirez on Wiimote Whiteboard
Me and the teacher next door are using your great software everyday all the time, but in the morning when we connect the wii to the macbooks, we both get in trouble sometimes. His wii connects to my computer or mine to his and we had to shut the connection and restart all over until it finally works. Is there a way for closing the bluetooth connection after the wii finds the computer? I know many other teachers want to try the software but this little problem can become a big one if everyone around our hall will have the same situation.

Hi John,
His wii connects to my computer or mine to his and we had to shut the connection and restart all over until it finally works. Is there a way for closing the bluetooth connection after the wii finds the computer?
this issue has been pointed out to me by several teachers already. It’s one of the top priorities on my TODO list for a new version of the application.
In the meantime, you can use one of these “runtime options” (please see the wiki):
- Set org.uweschmidt.wiimote.whiteboard.wiimotes to “1”. This will cause the app to stop looking for a second Wiimote after one has been found.
- Use the org.uweschmidt.wiimote.whiteboard.wiimoteAddresses option to restrict connections to your specific Wiimote only. Please see this previous post for more information.
Hope that helps, Uwe

Hi Uwe,
Yes, I saw that post. I might try again with a fresh install and see what happens. (It’s a “disposable” box - non-essential).

Cyrille on Wiimote Whiteboard
Hello!
Thanks for your great software! Unfortunately I just can’t fathom how to install/run it either on XP or Ubuntu…. I downloaded and read the readme.txt, but not enough info to get there… Is there a tutorial for dummies somewhere in the wiki pages or somewhere else?
Thanks a lot!
Cyrille
-
Hi Cyrille,
is my application even starting? That’s obviously the first step; please see this post for more information on Windows, and this wiki page for Linux.
After doing that, these step-by-step instructions should explain how to use the app. If not, please let me know what is unclear.

Thanks Uwe!
Well for XP ir’s running, but I have a trouble with BT… I guess I’ll fid a solution. For Ubuntu, a trouble with BT api or stack… I guess it’s because there is no bluecove gpl for arm machines ;-(

Helen on Wiimote Whiteboard
We are trying to test the java version with wii remote and bluetooth in two different rooms. Here is the problem in one classroom:
When the bluetooth connects to the wii, and the screen for calibration appears, the mouse is frozen, and I cannot move it. Sometimes the first point for calibration is already checked even though I have not done anything. Sometimes it says that the calibration is already completed, even though I have not calibrated at all. I cannot move the mouse to re-calibrate, and the only way to get out of this is to turn the Wii off with the power button.
In this room, we are using an ceiling mounted projector, with the screen in front of a window that is letting in outside light around the screen. The wii is on a tripod pointing directly on the screen, just underneath the mounted projector.
I can use this equipment in another room and it is not a problem. Has anyone experienced this problem? Could there be interference in the room?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
-
Hi Helen,
The outside light that you have mentioned should be the one causing your issue. For example, if sun light is coming in, the Wiimote will register the IR source to be always on and thus disrupting the calibration and the usability of the software.
A possible solution is to place the Wiimote closer to the screen avoiding the Wiimote from capturing the exposed window. Or you may have to cover the Window. If you are using Smoothboard, depending on the amount of infrared coming in, you can reduce the sensitivity of the Wiimote until these stray IR sources is undetected.
Regards, Boon Jin

hi there, i found this function in smoothboard http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3900315&id=109757703015 is this possible with WW, pls? thx
-
Helen on Wiimote Whiteboard
Thank you Boon Jin.
The issue was in fact the sunlight. We have covered the window, and all is working well. We are trialing both the java wii whiteboard application and Smoothboard in our building.
Thank you for your quick response and the solution that will help us move forward with this trial.

Uwe on Wiimote Whiteboard in reply to Cyrille
Hi Cyrille,
I guess it’s because there is no bluecove gpl for arm machines ;-(
I don’t know, but the website says it works on “SableVM on Debian 4.0r3 ARM on Linksys NSLU2”.
Do you have a piece of advice to share
Not really, other than referring you to the BlueCove Users Discussion Group. This is your best option to resolve this.
Little info: I used the bluecove 2.1.1
Try using bluecove-gpl-2.1.0.jar instead.

Hi Helen,
Boon Jin: If you are using Smoothboard, depending on the amount of infrared coming in, you can reduce the sensitivity of the Wiimote until these stray IR sources is undetected.
this is good idea. You can also do this with my app by changing the runtime option org.uweschmidt.wiimote.whiteboard.sensitivity.

pietro on Wiimote Whiteboard
I uwe, can I ask you a question about the license of your beatiful program? Which is the license of the whiteboard? Why do you not include the bluecove-gpl required by Linux inside thebinary package? I think that if the license is compliant with the gpl you can include the bluecove You could release all the code under the gpl
Thanks a lot for your work, in a special way for the Tuio support that allow to use the wiimote whiteboard as multitouch
Bye
-
Hi pietro,
Why do you not include the bluecove-gpl required by Linux inside thebinary package? I think that if the license is compliant with the gpl you can include the bluecove You could release all the code under the gpl
license issues are unfortunately tricky. My program relies on the WiiRemoteJ library, which is (in my opinion) incompatible with the GPL. The rest of the libraries are probably GPL-compatible, although I’m not even totally sure about that…

Chris on Wiimote Whiteboard
Hi Uwe,
First of all thank you for spending time on this program, it looks fantastic.
I’m having problems calbrating my screen which I can’t do. The Wii remote connects but when I try to calibrate the screen apears then nothing happens.
I’m using a Mac OS X which I have set up to use as two seperate monitors so I can see the tool box when I’m trying to calibrate on the board.
In the ‘Visible IR dots’ bit numbers 2 and 3 change when I click my IR pen so I’m presuming it’s picking up two sources so that where the problem is.
I’ve tried using a IR pen and just an IR diode and a battery and it still see two dots, I’ve also tried the Wii remote in different postions. Any ideas on how to fix this.
Many thanks
Chris
-
Hi Chris, How far are you positioning the Wiimote from the screen? There is a possibility that there are reflections of the IR causing the additional points.
When you do not activate the IR pen, does the Wiimote still detect any dots? If yes, you are having some stray IR sources in your vicinity.
Regards, Boon Jin
-
Hi Uwe Great to see how far the app has come since you started over 2 years ago.
I am trying to get running on my Windows 7 Netbook. It is the Windows BT stack, which according to the documentation is compatable (XP Sp2 or newer) but I’m getting the ‘Not supported on winsock’ been a while does this mean no luck my stack is incompatable & I’m reading documentation wrong?
Cheers
Ben :-)

Bobby on Wiimote Whiteboard
i get a little confused when i used the mac version it work flawlessly.
but when i used the cross-platform version (i double click the WiimoteWhiteboard.jar), it generates error like this : JarClassLoader: Warning: Unable to load native library: java.lang.NullPointerException Native Library bluecove not available java.lang.IllegalStateException: Bluetooth failed to initialize. There is probably a problem with your local Bluetooth stack or API.
is this a bug, or maybe the cross platform version are unable to run on a mac?
note : this is my java version ➜ ~ java -version java version “1.6.0_17” Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04-248-10M3025) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.3-b01-101, mixed mode)

Hi Ben,
It is the Windows BT stack, which according to the documentation is compatable (XP Sp2 or newer) but I’m getting the ‘Not supported on winsock’
my app still only suports the WIDCOMM stack on Windows, AFAIK. Where did you find this in the documentation?
-
Hi Bobby,
when i used the mac version it work flawlessly. but when i used the cross-platform version (i double click the WiimoteWhiteboard.jar), it generates error […]
the cross-platform version on your system is started in 64-bit mode by default, which currently doesn’t work (the Mac app already takes care of this). To solve your problem, open Terminal.app and run this (in the correct folder):
java -d32 -jar WiimoteWhiteboard.jar

Uwe “Microsoft Bluetooth stack (currently this means Windows XP SP2 or newer and Windows Mobile 2003 or newer)” http://code.google.com/p/bluecove/wiki/stacks
Or is this just XP, surprised bluecove doesn’t support Windows Stack as now default for Win7, very few radios require additional software.
Ben :-)
-
Hi Ben,
“Microsoft Bluetooth stack (currently this means Windows XP SP2 or newer and Windows Mobile 2003 or newer)” http://code.google.com/p/bluecove/wiki/stacks
the stack has to support L2CAP in combination with BlueCove, which only applies to WIDCOMM.

Uwe on Wiimote Whiteboard in reply to Cyrille
Hi Cyrille,
what process did you follow? Do you mean adding bluecove-gpl to my app? I’m not much of help when it comes to Linux-related problems, because I don’t have a Linux box for testing right now.
-
Cyrille on Wiimote Whiteboard
Yes, I followed exactly this:
- Download the cross-platform Java version and unzip the archive (folder WiimoteWhiteboard will be created)
- Go to the WiimoteWhiteboard folder and create a new sub-directory lib
- Download the latest GPL’d BlueCove Linux library (currently snapshot 73) and put it in the lib folder
- Type zip WiimoteWhiteboard.jar lib/bluecove-gpl-2.0.3-*.jar at the command-line in folder WiimoteWhiteboard
- That’s it. The software should start normally by typing java -jar WiimoteWhiteboard.jar
- If it works, you can remove the folder lib and its contents
and unfortunately I can’t connect my Wiimote to the Linux box ;-( I know BT works on that machine with other devices!
-
Uwe on Wiimote Whiteboard in reply to Cyrille
Hi Cyrille,
3. Download the latest GPL’d BlueCove Linux library (currently snapshot 73) and put it in the lib folder 4. Type zip WiimoteWhiteboard.jar lib/bluecove-gpl-2.0.3-*.jar at the command-line in folder WiimoteWhiteboard
you need to use bluecove-gpl-2.1.0 instead of a 2.0.3 snapshot (as mentioned here).

Frustrated on Wiimote Whiteboard
I’ve tried finding the driver for Wincomm 5.1.0.110 but to no avail. It seems that Whiteboard does not work with the current wincomm (6.1) stack as the error comes up as “Not supported on winsock” and won’t connect to the Wiimote. I’ve found that it works on Smoothboard but I hate to have to remove and then re-add the Wiimote. I’m slightly disappointed that I can’t use the Whiteboard…

I think you mean the Widcomm driver, not Wincomm. Maybe you searched for the wrong name? The error message “Not supported on winsock” indicates that you’re using the default Windows Bluetooth stack winsock, which does not work with my app.
From the BlueCove documentation:
If automatic Bluetooth Stack detection is not enough Java System property “bluecove.stack” can be used to force desired Stack Initialization. Values “widcomm”, “bluesoleil” or “winsock”. By default winsock is selected if available.
Hence, try starting my app like this (with installed Widcomm stack):
java -Dbluecove.stack=widcomm -jar WiimoteWhiteboard.jar
-
Uwe on Wiimote Whiteboard in reply to Ouie Castaneda
Hi Ouie,
Is it possible to use 2 wiimotes and one lcd projector in order to create a wider ir coverage?
that should work as long as each Wiimote can “see” at least one quarter of the display; see my video.

Justin on Wiimote Whiteboard
I’ve been trying to get this program running in Windows 7 for a couple days now - no luck. I’ve tried 3 different BT dongles and with the built-in MS stack, BlueSoleil, and Toshiba drivers included with the most recent dongle. I cannot use the Widcomm drivers because version 6 simply won’t install (it asks me to plug in or turn on my device and sits). I’ve tried to find the older Widcomm 5.1 drivers as others have suggested, but I cannot locate them anywhere.
Really though, I don’t care so much about using this software; I just need a Java library for connecting to the Wiimote for my own project. I don’t want to use a .dll like Smoothboard since my software is in Java and I want to be able to use it in Linux as well. Are there any other Java libraries for connecting to the Wiimote I could try?

I have a Kensington K33348 bluetooth on Windows 7 Home edition (32-bit) . It’s telling me “not supported on winsock”.
any advice? My bluetooth can’t do a permanent pairing (if it ever did). What’s wrong? what’s a good bluetooth that will work. I’m only concerned about the Wii to make this project work. I want to use it in the classroom. I’m not a very techi guy.
I will appreciate any help from you. Thank you.

Patrick on Wiimote Whiteboard
Hello, thanks for this programm. I wonder if its possible to activate multitouch capabilitis for windows 7. I use IR illuminatet glass as touchscreen with backprojektion. A multitouch funktion would make this perfekt. I would make a big donate for multitouch ;)
Anyway my Win7 64bit doesn’t allow me tzo use multitouch because of missing multitouch device. Maybe there is a way to simulate multitouch hardware with this.

Too bad this winsock incompatibility. You should remove windows from the list of the supported OS.

Matt Davis on Wiimote Whiteboard
Sorry for repeat
I am applying the wii smartboard to my school and need help.
Some of stuff we need to have fixed. 1. Faster connecting between the wiimote and the program 2.Does not lose connection randomly 3.Get rid of lag when using one wiimote on Mac with a bluetooth doogle. 4. Maybe add a save calibration setting. redoing the calibration sucks.
Love the Program Best Regards Matt Davis

I have no idea whether this is possible or not, but it’s very likely that I won’t implement this feature. Sorry. I’m simply a Mac user and don’t even have a Windows 7 machine for testing.
Sorry for the very late reply, I’m currently traveling…
