Hi Michael,

I haven't explored the Wii controller on Windows that much, but the defacto method is to use GlovePIE (http://carl.kenner.googlepages.com/glovepie) and re-map the Wii data to something useable by Pd (eg, MIDI).

Hope that helps, -Mike

A while back there was some information posted on a PC version of the Wii controller. Can someone point me to the PC dll??

Thanks in advance.

There's a list of compatible Bluetooth devices here: http://www.wiili.org/index.php/Compatible_Bluetooth_Devices

I use a D-Link (DBT-120), which works great.

The Bluetooth chip in the Wiimote is a Broadcom BCM2042 (http://www.broadcom.com/products/Bluetooth/Bluetooth-RF-Silicon-and-Softwar e-Solutions/BCM2042). Maybe you can get some more details on the product page about range, etc.

Cheers, -Mike
