Uwe on Wiimote Whiteboard in reply to Dan
Hi Dan and Andrew,
Is there an issue with NON-NINTENDO wii remotes?
the clone Wiimotes are problematic to the best of my knowledge. At least the Nyko Wand doesn’t seem to work. I don’t have any clone Wiimote to test this myself.
The version they had in the store was the one with ‘MotionPlus inside’. It shows up as ‘Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR’.Do you know if this device is compatible? I can’t connect it through your software or even pair it using the Mac’s ’setup bluetooth device’.
On the other hand, the newer Wiimote model with integrated MotionPlus should work just fine, as I have one of those myself and successfully connected and used it.
Sorry for the late reply, Uwe

Hi Andrew,
BTW there are 2 new versions of the wiimote with motion plus. The newest of the two (with a TR at the end of the device name) was only released late last year and is difficult to get in some parts of the world right now. Perhaps you’re thinking of the earlier version?
I probably have one of these earlier Wiimotes with MotionPlus, don’t have it here right now to check.

Hi Allen,
I’m pretty sure the maker if this software has completely forgotten about this website, the last time he posted here was in 09, it’s 2012,
I have not forgotten about my website, although you’re right that I don’t post much and haven’t done so in a while. Btw, my last comment before today was from summer 2011, and not 2009.
i myself have unsubscribed from updates, your best bet is to find an active forum for this type of thing.
I personally don’t use my application in practice, hence I agree that your best bet to find solutions to the most common problems is actually to “talk” to other people at forums like wiimoteproject.com.

Hi Guénard,
…i click on the two 1+2 buttons on my wiimote, and then i have a windows message that tells me : “Wiiremote failed to connect ! Not supported on winsock. La connexion a échoué. merci d’essayer à nouveau”.
please read the FAQ about this problem.

Hi Gerard,
After installing WhiimoteWhiteboard on debian 6 I only get the following error message: Bleutooth failed to initialize. There is probably a problem with your localo Bluetooth stack or API
please read the FAQ about this issue.

I bought a wiiremote Plus today. I am working on a MacBook Pro 13” Snow Leopard. I can’t get it to work with wiimotewhiteboard and need some help. If this is not the place to post something like that, it would be very kind if you could tell me about the appropriate place. When I launch the WiiMoteWhiteboard mac-app nothing happens when I press button 1+2 on the wii (although the wii’s blue buttons are blinking) when I check the log of wiimotewhiteboard I get:
FINE 15:50:54 WiiRemoteJ: Found Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR (2C10C153998B) FINE 15:50:54 WiiRemoteJ: Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR is NOT a known device.
any clue what that means? If I co to console.app I get:

Hello Uwe
I tried that with several versions of the library starting with the latest version and it made no difference. Would it be possible that an other program or library is interferring ?

jimandy on Wiimote Whiteboard
In reply to max: I too have a MacBookPro (15) running Snow Leopard and got the older Wii to work. You may have tried this already but here is my procedure. 1. Turn off Bluetooth (if on). 2. Turn on Bluetooth but make sure “discoverable” is NOT checked. 3. Launch the Whiteboard app and try the Wii again (push buttons 1+2) 4. If you have a problem and want to try again, quit the app and delete the Wii from the Bluetooth list of devices else restarting the app will fail for sure.
Note: I used a homemade IR pen to interface directly with a 24” external monitor with Wii about 2 feet away.

Carrie on Wiimote Whiteboard
Hello, I am a first grade teacher and I have just begun the wiimote adventure :) I find it much easier to use this program. I have had many problems with smoothboard. I seem to be bumped off the internet quite frequently tho. This was not the case before I started using the wiimote whiteboard. Am I doing something wrong? I like to use the interactive activities from the internet with my kids. Is there a drawing element like smoothboard?

Jean on Wiimote Whiteboard
Hi Jimandy,
I have the same setup like you do (MB Pro 15, OS 10.6) I followed your procedure, the Wii remote connects good. It’s the calibration part that seems to fail. I see the calibration screen but I can’t manage to click on the 1st cal-point. When i check the IR monitor i see all the IR dots jumping around the screen. Also the IR dots next to “Visible IR dots:” start to flicker on and off.
Could you help me with this?
thx in advnc, Jean.
-
jimandy on Wiimote Whiteboard in reply to Jean
My set up involved the Wii looking at a monitor to use the pen and monitor as a form of graphics tablet. My initial testing was done on a very bright day and I had similar problems. I discovered that sunlight reflections coming through a window from behind my monitor was the problem - totally confusing the Wii’s infrared camera. Draping a curtain across the window solved the problem. Look for anything that might be reflecting unwanted light back into the Wii.
-
Jean on Wiimote Whiteboard
The Wii is pointed on a normal wall, where i beam my secondary screen on. It is a darkened room, with only a table and a chair. I don’t think there’s any reflection involved.
-
jimandy on Wiimote Whiteboard
What kind of light pen are you using? You can test the light pen with most digital cameras that can see infrared. Turn all lights out and have someone wave the pen around near your target screen or wall while you observe image from the camera. The camera should show a bright pin point of light without flicker. Any stray reflections might show up as well.
-
Jean on Wiimote Whiteboard
I will test this, i use a generic pen (white product). On camera i see a pinpoint of lighting , i’m not sure how bright it must be.
-
Hey, also i forgot to tell one thing.After doing the calibration press esc button to exit the calibration screen.We haven’t yet added the cross-hair to aim at during calibration but it works without them.So after lighting up the led on the 4 corners, just press esc and you will have your flat screen working as a touch screen.Please reply with your feedbacks. Thank you.

Hi Rishi,
I am a computer teacher in Australia, I am happy to test your program I have connected and the wiimote to my windows 7 laptop. Staff issue laptop to all New South Wales schools. I have downloaded your software and it runs. Not sure what else I need to do. The light is continually flashing on the wiimote. I’ve left my pen at school but once I’m connected I will test it with a data prjector.
I use uwe’s software on my Mac without any trouble but am unable to use it on this windows 7 pc. Mainly because it so locked down. You can’t run .exe files on it but you can run jar files. If I test your software and it works you may have given me a solution to get the wiimote working on this laptop.

Hello Samantha ma’am
Please do reply once you have tested it and share any problems that you come across while doing so.Hope it will work the way you expected, even if it doesn’t give your feedback so that the project can improve.
Thank you.

jimandy on Wiimote Whiteboard
Hi Rishi. I am interested in testing your app on a MacBookPro. Although you have developed and tested it on Windows, please understand that there is a growing number of Mac users, particularly in the middle and high schools in my area. I assumed since it is written in Java it should run under Java on any OS but I have encountered a problem even to launch it. If you (or any Mac user) has a suggestion on the steps involved in launching this binary please respond.
-
Hi Jimandy. I will definitely test it on Mac OS and will get back to you soon.If it is giving a problem here as well then me and my team shall work on the bug and soon release version 2 of the software. Thank you for replying and showing interest.
-
Hi Rishi, I am unable to get the wiimote to work on the Windows 7 laptop. It is heavily locked down. I can’t get the wiimote to stop flashing. Your software does run ont he machine. Usually once the wii is connected to the computer via bluetooth it stops flashing. Regarding the software it would be great if you could add the callibration cross hairs so you know where to click on the screen. Also I guess it should automatically escape back to the normal screen without having to press the ESC key. I have an older Mac laptop, I’ll run your software on their and see how it all goes.

Hello Samantha ma’am Thank you for the feedback.I think the software is giving some problems on Mac.It may not run under Mac OS.But still I appreciate the fact that you tested the software and replied with your review.
Thank you.
-
Sam Pennington on Wiimote Whiteboard
HI Rishi,
Have tried your software on 3 computers. Desktop running winxp Mac Running OS10.4.11 Laptop running Windows 7.
It’s not connecting to any of them. Also I don’t see any cross hairs on the calibration page. They are in your screen captures on your website.
I have another Mac I can try it on running Snow Leopard. When I get a chance I’ll give it a try. I like your project. I ran a project with an Information Systems class a few years ago on wiimote. I would have loved to do something like what your doing with a Software design class. One of my students did a project on Webcam whiteboard and that was good also. I think the wiimote is better.
Any ideas on how to get your software working so I can test it further.
Regards
Samantha Pennington

Hello ma’am I think you are having problems with your Bluetooth drivers.The software requires WIDCOMM.It will not run on Microsoft’s default Bluetooth stack.Here’s what you need to do- 1.)Download “Widcomm 5.0.1.801 bluetooth drivers” for windows xp, just download it and install it.Here’s the link ->http://www.filecrop.com/Widcomm-5.0.1.801-bluetooth-drivers.html. If still it doesnt work then.. 2.) Go to “c:/windows/inf” folder select “bth.PNF” and “bth.inf OR bth” file and rename it as “bth.PNF.old” and “bth.inf.old OR bth.old”. 3.)restart ur pc. 4.) Again install “Widcomm 5.0.1.801 bluetooth drivers” . This should make the software run on MS Win XP and MS WIN 7. We have not tested it on Mac so at this pint of time i cannot comment on that.Please see if the above instruction work.And if still it doesn’t the we may have to improve our project a lot.
Thank you for replying.

Also we have now added the cross-hairs to the calibration scree.You can go here and download para-iwb -> http://paratechies.weebly.com/downloads.html

Michael on Wiimote Whiteboard
Hi,
I am a little bit confused, browsing through all the postings and on google.
I have a MacBook Pro i7 running OS X 10.7.3. Also I have a Wii Remote that iI shortly can pair without a pin and that is shown in the Bluetooth Menu as Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-RT.
When I start Wiimote I press 1 and 2 and it do not connect. In the log it keeps showing me: FINE 15:16:14 WiiRemoteJ: Found Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR (2C10C1B67AA2) FINE 15:16:14 WiiRemoteJ: Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR is NOT a known device.
Any Ideas what could cause this. I had to replace my machine and also my remote. So maybe it does not really work. Because the Remote is to new. I am a little bit confused since it worked well on my old box.
Anyone that can point me into the correct direction on the web?
Advance Thanks.
Bye Michael

Dusty on Wiimote Whiteboard
Hello,
I have windows 7 and am having connectivity issues. My wii remote shows up under my compuer devices as connected. Upon starting your software, it just keeps ‘searching’ and never locates my remote. Any suggestions would be helpful, I would like to use this for a business presentation tomorrow am.
Thank you, Dusty

One thing that seems confusing in this thread is that we seem to have two different products involved. First, the original software from UweSchmid and then this software from Rishi. Might help to mention which one a post is talking about.

Naved on Wiimote Whiteboard
Hi All, Please tell me first thing, When wiimote connect to the PC what blue lights of Remote behaves like? In my project after connected to the PC, it keeps blinking, but Whiteboard software says there is no Wiimote connected. how to proceed further? Thanks

Kendra on Wiimote Whiteboard
I’m getting the same message that Michael got. I’m on a MacBook running OS 10.5.8, and I just purchased a brand new Wii Remote Plus. I’m using the Mac-specific WiimoteWhiteboard (also tried the Java version with similar results).
In general the computer doesn’t acknowledge the connection attempts with the Wiimote. However, after Many attempts, I eventually got something that said
FINE 15:16:14 WiiRemoteJ: Found Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR (2C10C1B67AA2) FINE 15:16:14 WiiRemoteJ: Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR is NOT a known device.
Any help here would be much appreciated.

Tom on Wiimote Whiteboard
Hello there, I’m facing a problem using the java version of the software on my PC running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The first time I tried to run WiimoteWhiteboard it wanted me to get bluecove. After I downloaded bluecove-2.1.1-SNAPSHOT.jar and placed it in C:\Program Files\java\jre7\lib\ext\ I tried again and it put out that winsock is not supported. After some google research I found that I had to have a WIDCOMM bluetooth stack installed to make it work. So I downloaded the installer from http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php and let it install the WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software. Everything went fine and I tried again but it still tells me that winsock is not supported. I don’t know anything about java programming and everything I wanted to do is using my Wiimote for a pen-based touchscreen. So is anybody able to help me with my problem?
-
Rosza on Wiimote Whiteboard
Hi, I am able to connect my wiimote (Motion Plus) I bought from ebay and the IR LED pen on my windows 7. At the beginning it was a bit confusion on how to add new device (my wiimote). Then I watched a movie on how to do so. So I did click add new divice on my computer and then press 1 and 2 at the same time wait until the computer detect the Wiimote. Then follow the proceduces.
I used wiimote whiteboard from Jhonny Cheung Lee’s website and it detected my wiimote and I also did the calibration. However, I wasn’t able to use the pen to control the cursor. Is there anyone can help me with this problem? Thank you.

calvin on Wiimote Whiteboard
i’ve found this software to be extremely easy to install, calibrate and use. no problems what so ever. i didn’t have a IR pen, so i just used a TV remote control. it worked okay. then i used my imac apple remote, and boy that remote works great!! I had to figure out how to unpair it with my mac, but after that works like a charm.
-
kendrick on Wiimote Whiteboard
Whenever I launch the application directly from the applications folder, the program starts up and I get the start display, but then even when I press 1 and 2 buttons on the wii remote, it still says searching and can’t find. When I attempt to launch the program through terminal or by clicking on the .jar java script, I get an error saying “either your bluetooth is not supported (but I know it is cuz its the standard macbook pro bluetooth) or something about the API on my computer.” I’ve downloaded the Wiimote application, but do I need additional software. I read that I might need bluecove. If so how do you get this running. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
-
François on Wiimote Whiteboard
I’ve just installed Mountain Lion and, suddenly, whimote whiteboard won’t work any more. It will crash immediately. I’ve tried the Java version which works a tiny bit better: it works long enough to let me know there’s a ptoblem with my bluetooth, which fails to initialize, then it crashes.
Please, tell me you have a solution. Your program is a must have for me and my pupils. Don’t let us down.
Thanks in advance.

Brittaney on Wiimote Whiteboard
I too just downloaded Mountain Lion for my Mac and now it crashes :( Please help!!
-
Orlando on Wiimote Whiteboard
Same here. So excited to experiment with the software and it just crashes. I’m assuming it’s mountain lion. Please fix. I want to use this in my classroom this fall. Thanks for all of your hard work.
-
I can also confirm that the app is crashing at start-up upon updating the mac OS to Mountain Lion (10.8). If you rely on Wiimote Whiteboard in your classroom don’t upgrade to Mountain Lion until this is resolved!
-
François on Wiimote Whiteboard
Hello, I thought you may not have Mountain Lion, and didn’t want it. But you might be interested in the error message — hoping that it’ll help you figure what’s going wrong and correct it.
Here’s the error log:

Dear Uwe, dear all,
For the past few days, I’ve been checking your site hoping that you would release a new version of wiimote whiteboard, to make it compatible with Mountain Lion.
I guess that won’t be possible before Apple release some patches. As a matter of fact, Mountain Lion is extremely faulty, especially when it comes to wifi and… bluetooth!
I’m considering downgrading to Lion, unless Apple release the necessary correction to their system, before the end of the month – School starts in September, I need wiimote whiteboard by that time.
So, if you haven’t bought/installed Moutain Lion, DON’T DO IT! Wait until it’s safer.
For those who, like me, have already taken the plunge, what do you intend to do?

Dear all,
sorry for not posting here in a long time.
I will do my best to make Wiimote Whiteboard compatible with Mac OS X 10.8 “Mountain Lion”. Unfortunately, I can’t make you any promises if or when this is going to happen. These Bluetooth issues might require updating one or two libraries that are used withing my app (BlueCove and WiiRemoteJ), hence I might rely on other people to fix this.

Hi Uwe,
Thank you so much for putting your time and effort into developing a Mac version of the Wiimote Whiteboard. I learned about this only recently, and am thrilled about what I may be able to do with it in my teaching.
Unfortunately, I seem to be experiencing some problems to get the software to recognize my Wiimote (with MotionPlus), and I was wondering whether you may be able to provide some guidance.
I use a Macbook Pro with OS X (10.6.8) and Java SE 6 (version 1.6.0_33-b03-424). When I turn on the Bluetooth on the laptop and start the Mac version of the Whiteboard program (1.0.3), however, the program never seem to be able to find the Wiimote (I have tried both the pressing of 1 & 2 buttons, as well as the red button on the back of the Wiimote with little success).
I have also tried the Java version of the Whiteboard program (1.0.3), and receive a WiimoteWhiteboard pop-up error message stating that the “Bluethooth failed to initialize. There is probably a problem with your local Bluetooth stack or API.” Unfortunately, when I go to click the “OK” button to dismiss the error, the log window containing the error message disappears as well.
When I try the Smoothboard for Mac application (Version: 1.0 Build 1009 - http://www.smoothboard.org/mac/ ), however, the Wiimote is immediately recognized and properly recognize my IR pen.
Thank you very much for your time.

Love your program, looking forward to a potential fix for OSX Mountain Lion! :)

Hi Zack Palmer! Class of 2011 Nipissing graduate…great to see your postings. I too am hoping that the Wii-Mote Whiteboard software for Mac can be upgraded to handle the new Mac OSX 10.8.x Mountain Lion.

hello, trying to reinstall this on fresh ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04, I can’t pass the always the same error of

I have well the symlinks pointing to the libbluetooth lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2012-09-26 11:13 libbluetooth.so -> /usr/lib/libbluetooth.so.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2012-07-08 00:24 libbluetooth.so.3 -> libbluetooth.so.3.5.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 83108 2010-04-09 12:35 libbluetooth.so.3.5.0
Would you have a hint to what is the problem here ? (launching with root give same error) It’s still working on a ubuntu 9.04 machine here, but I need to update it and install another one (using it with a processing app to do multi pointer virtual graphiti for kids … and theater!… )
