Hot GNU/Linux Wiimote Action!
18 years ago
I've had a Wii for a while now, and have just recently put the thing to some /real/ use.
That is to say, I've got the Wiimote working as a mouse (plus a few keys) for my GNU/Linux box. < ^.^ >
For those who know about these things, I'm using a modified version of wminput from the CWiid package. A small Ruby script that I wrote waits for a Wiimote, displays a notification using my custom OSD system for X, runs wminput (which I modified to die when the Wiimote is powered off), displays a notification of disconnection and then returns to waiting for a Wiimote. I'm quite proud of it. < n.n >
The machine I have all this set up on is primarily an entertainment unit. I use MythTV as a frontend for Mplayer, and will likely soon set up the TV watching/recording part. My question is... does anyone have a suggestion for a nice, mouse-friendly alternative to MythTV or a nice, mouse-friendly theme for MythTV I could use?

It wasn't that hard. All the information is available. The hardest part was making my own sensor bar, which I forgot to mention.
Are you using a webcam, or just standalone setup?
Did you try GlovePIE?

Have you tried to draw with it yet? Very fun. =^^=
