Bluetooth with cRIO/DS?
I want to use the accelerometer in a wiimote rather than the one given in the KoP because our readings are very jittery. I've already successfully connected the wiimote to my home PC that's using a 3rd party Bluetooth dongle, with an installation disc provided.
What I want to know:
Is it possible for me to install that 3rd party software onto the cRIO, and to plug the dongle into one of the USB ports in the DS, so I can retrieve accelerometer values from the Wiimote?

I know this is probably a stretch; the biggest problem is getting the 3rd party installation into the cRIO. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I just thought up of this a few days ago and I'm going in tomorrow to try and test things.
