Wiimote Whiteboard with Windows x64 support.

I updated Johnny Chung Lee's original Wiimote Whiteboard with a couple of new features and bug fixes including:
  • Compatibility with 64 bit Windows (Tested on Windows 7)
  • Automatic bluetooth pairing on MS Bluetooth stack
  • Minor ui updates


I'm calling it version 1.2 for no particular reason:

    I have tried to use and doe not work the calibrate button. I have opened the code and seems that the button call the wrong function
    anyway rebuilding the tool. I have successfully used your version.
    I have two answer can you ask to Chung Lee to post your software?

    An other issue you wrote automatic pairing but I use windows 7 on 64bit and I must connect the wiimote with the bluetooth device with the Microsoft tool before use your program.

    In any case will be very useful to have the autoconnect feature. I have seen that all the closed source code uses InTheHandleNet library of 32feet.net

    Will be possible in the future?

    Thanks a lot of your useful work!

    I just tested it out today. Please try to fix the wiimote calibrate bug. So far I have noticed
    1. The button doesnt work
    2. If you initialize the calibration via the wiimote the program is flawless
    3. If you initialize the calibration twice via the wiimote an error pops up :(

    Great work! I hope that you fix this minor error in your app!

    Made a few bugfixes to Rambler's 1.2 version:

    - Enabled Calibrate button
    - Can calibrate multiple times
    - Enabled Checkboxes
    - Added Move Mouse checkbox (Keeps the mouse in the top corner of the screen)

    Thomas, there is 1 error in the program. When I use the program on my laptop which has an internal bluetooth, the program doesn't give an error. When I try to run my program on my PC which has an external bluetooth, the program connects to my Wii mote and installs drivers but then will say that the Wii mote was not found in the HID device list and it gives me an option to continue or quit. Then a bubble will show on the bottom of the task bar saying that my drivers were installed correctly. When the bubble shows up I select Quit and then re-start the program and then it connects properly. The odd time, the program will freeze on start up. Other than that when the program is running, I haven't encountered any errors.

    Sorry Anthony, i don't even have enough programming experience to really understand how the program works, let alone how to port it to OSX, for that you will have to find some willing person with the required experience and time or another program.

    Actually, all bugfixes i made to Ramblers version required only one line of code. All the buttons and functions were present, but it seems he forgot to link them together. And the calibration problem was only a matter of adding a line that reset the process.

    As to the problem on your PC it looks like it just hasn't finished installing the drivers before the program checks if the wiimote is connected. It sometimes happen on my PC with external BT aswell. I have no idea what can be causing the freezes.

    All props to:
    - Johnny Chung Lee (for the original version)
    - Rambler (for ver 1.2 - compatibility with Windows 7 64-bit)
    - Per Thomas (for ver 1.3 - enabling mouse movements - I couldn't move my mouse pointer with the IR pen in ver 1.2)
    - Stuart Childs (for finding and posting a live link to ver 1.3, Per Thomas's original link didn't work anymore)

    Tested and proven to work astoundingly quick and simple on a Windows 8 Pro 64-bit using the default Microsoft Bluetooth stack. Just run the program as an administrator and we're good to go! Thanks a lot, guys!
