It’s just gone 4pm and I have successfully connected all (almost) of the parts of the puzzle. In one sketch I am successfully connecting to the WiiMote and the Arduino, instantiating a class for pitch and pan (i.e: each separate motor on each axis) and executing the method which will move the motor at the desired speed.

At the moment it’s hard coded which direction the motor turns and there isn’t any form of calculation actually going on to work out the IR point’s co-ordinates but that will come as I begin to understand better the code.

Definite win today, may be knocking up rough prototypes in the next few days, or whenever Ali orders my parts!

On another note, I wired up the WiiMote so that it runs from a DC power supply – wouldn’t want the batteries dying on me mid degree show would I?! Winner.
