Re: Wiimote Digital Scouting System

Hi, everyone.

The preliminary version of the wiimote scouting program and DB analyzer are available for download at www.nventivity.com/scout2.htm.

We encountered major setbacks with Afterglow wiimote controllers as well as Nintendo MotionPlus wiimote controllers. Brian Peek's WiimoteLib doesn't support these non-standard controllers robustly enough to keep 6 wiimotes connected (at least with BlueSoleil 2.7.0.35 and 8.0.338.0) We have yet to complete a match cycle with all 6 wiimotes, but I wanted to get the data entry program out there so that you can begin to test it.

Tomorrow (today, actually), we will finally have 6 standard wiimotes to confirm that the match data is correctly recorded for all 6 cells.

As far as operating systems go, we have successfully installed both the data entry and analysis programs on 32-bit Win XP and Vista. We will attempt a Windows 7 install in a few hours.
