Brian,  this is awesome, thanks for sharing. It seems I have to continually delete and repair my wiimote after it is been turned off.  Is this the standard behavior? I am running Vista Ulimate with the build in blue tooth stack.  Any ideas????

I did try it and it did work fine on a PC, but not on a Windows Mobile device.

Oh well, I will have to drill down into how to code that part then.

@Jay, auto-pairing is not supported by the Wiimote.

@NH, there is no WinMo support as WinMo lacks an HID layer.

@Anas, no stable WM+ version yet

Hey Brian, great job!

What should I do when the wiimote is disconnected by error? I mean, if the application is running and I unplug the bluetooth adapter. It shows me a Windows error. How Can I control this event?

Thanks!!

Is that possible port this to .net micro framework and use in a FEZ domino DEV kit?

@Rodrigo, probably not directly.  The library makes use of a ton of native Win32 calls and the presence of a HID layer.  You wouldn't have those available in NETMF.  That said, one may be able to create a new library for NETMF as long as there is some kind of Bluetooth access that can talk HID and not just plain serial or some other protocol.

Using wiimotelib 1.8 beta, is it possible to get calibrated data from the wiimotion plus
