Using a wiimote with LabVIEW

[hsiaochung]

Dear sir:

I have succeed to get the acceleration data from "WiimoteLib12test (polling).vi " by your suggestion.

But I try to  get  the acceleration data from "WiimoteLib12test (Event).vi".

Could you give me a Example 

Thanks for your help

I had some trouble getting the Wii Remote to connect to my Blue Tooth device.  When I realized my firewall software (Black Ice) was causing the problem, and stopped it, all the VI’s started to work.

Hi,

I have trouble setting up the .NET constructor for the "managed wiimote" approach. (LV8.51, wiimotelib 1.2.1 and 1.5.2)

Here's what I have done:

1. download and unzip "wiimoteManaged" 

2. download the latest wiimoteLib

3. copy wiimotelib.dll into the wiimoteManaged-directory

4.  open an example (eg "wiimotelib121test (polling).vi"

while loading I get errors (can't find wiimotelib.dll even though it's there)

if I ignore all this and try to set the constructor manually (by doubleclicking the .NET constructor node), I can't load wiimotelib.dll.

I get "the selected file is not a .NET assembly, type library or automation executable".

 (tested this with v1.2.1 and 1.5.2 of wiimotelib).

I have tried to register the dll with regsvr32, doesn't work (no entry point)

Am I missing something here? I have been using .NET assemblies in other projects without any problems...

btw, the wiimote.dll - approach (without .NET) works fine.

Thanks for your help.

Hi bef,

I have not reviewed the previous six pages of messages in this thread, but why are you trying to use the wiimote.dll as a .NET assembly?  You should either use that DLL in C# or download the LabVIEW specific implementation here.

Hi Pakman, well, as I said, I had no problems using the wiimote.dll. But the approach shown here: http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-1353 uses a .NET dll and I can't get to work.

How were you able to make the DLL work? Did you get this DLL from the link you mention?

Hi DB,

My mistake, I forgot you already tried the LabVIEW method.  I went to the provided URL and noticed that the page was updated today (8/26).  When I downloaded the files and opened the Simple Polled Acquisition.vi, it worked fine (after finding the WiiMoteLib.dll in a new location).  Thus, try downloading the newest package and see if the example VI works.  You should not need to register the DLL or anything.

Has anyone come out with 7.1 support yet? It would be really helful. Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone has gotten multiple wiimote working in LabView. How do you go about doing this?

The Wiimote - LabVIEW interface example that I've posted here: http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-1353 should handle multiple Wiimotes. Haven't tried it yet though. 😆
