Well, today was a success. I have now got the wiimote connecting via Bluetooth to my MacBook and it’s all happening in Processing. This is ultra cool as before all the connections were happening through compiled applications meaning that I was unable to script custom code easily without some level of hacking; but now I have script access to it meaning I can pull data from the sensors efficiently and easily.

Most of what I achieved today was from tearing apart the source files of an IDEO wiimote project. If you already weren’t so high in my estimations, IDEO, I’d place you higher!

Anyway, I’m hoping I’ve not spoken too soon as I am still a VERY long way from being anywhere near a prototyping stage. That’s all still to come.

At least I can now work in my preferred way; with code!
