I've been using CommMG.au3 for years and it works great! It controlled a relay-card and an Arduino DMX-controller. Now i added another Arduino which controls a RGB-Pixel-Strip and all goes belly up I found out that changing the port (_CommSwitch) takes 20ms, that is just waaaay to long for constantly switching between DMX and RGB-strip. Is there a easy solution for "streaming" over two ports? While searching this thread i read about making a dedicated program for each port, but keeping two ports open would sure make things easier.

Beege: what development-tools are you using for your AutoItPort? is it possible to get your source/project files? i managed to build the wiiuse example in visual studio express 2010, but it's not (yet) working properly.

my question was not clear: i know what the motionplus IS, but i don't know what this results in.... is the wiimote just getting more accurate motion-detection or do you get some additional information from it? like translation and not just acceleration? i guess it's the later since wiiuse.dll is not supporting it (and therefor it's useless with Beege's solution) as for the sensorbar: if i get a battery holder and a switch from my local electronics shop i pay more than $3.50

hope i don't get banned... found a new offer: wiimote + Nunchuck in black for $6.89!!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Remote-and-Nunchuck-Controller-Nintendo-WII-BLK-/280699132263 or wiimote + nunchuck + motionplus in red for $6.89!!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/RED-Nunchuck-Controller-and-Remote-Motion-Plus-Wii-/280699140922 WIRELESS sensor bar $3.50 http://cgi.ebay.com/Wireless-Remote-Sensor-Bar-for-Nintendo-Wii-Controller-/300541856452 i think motion plus is not supported in the wiiuse-library! btw. someone know what the motionplus is for? just same data but better, or something more?

it's looking good: - buzzer works - ir shows some data. seems ok, reacts on x/y the way i suspected. button handling needs some work, if you enable motion- or ir-tracking you get flooded with events.

wait for Beege's demo, i think he will have all functions working in a gui. i'm also about to order a remote since the one i'm using is just borrowed i was looking on the bay, the cheapest i found is 11$! (with delivery to switzerland) i can not understand how this incredible piece of hardware can be produced for this price! i don't know if it's ok to post a link to the offer here?

pitch + roll are between -180 and 180 when flat on table: pitch:0 roll:0 pointing up: pitch:90 roll:??? (the sensors work with gravity, if they stand "in line" with gravity they can't get an accurate reading) pointing at me: pitch:jumps from 180 to -180 roll: (-)180 because its upside down pointing down: pitch: -90 roll:??? roll goes from 0 to 180 on right and 0 to -180 on left i don't know what abs values are, they are almost the same

nice! i'm curious what other macros are hidden in there, the whole IR stuff surely will open some interesting possibilities it will be so easy to use the wiimote in autoit! why hasn't this been done before? i'm so excited! and now i'll keep quiet and let you work

wow, sounds like you are on the way to a fully working solution! i totally understand your choice not to dig into the dll, your solution is working perfectly well and as you said its maybe even faster the buttons are working fine, but it would be cool to get two events for a keypress: A_DOWN on press and A_UP on release.

ok, now i understand how your approach is working, i guess it won't be that easy to enable buzzer/led control this way. or is it just as easy to send commands to your program via StdinWrite()? but one thing i really miss is button_down and button_up 'events', if you get these from wiiuse..... maybe i should setup a c compiler and try it myself

Yesterday i was looking for a remote to control my XBMC and my autoit -> arduino -> DMX system. Then i learned the wiimote actually connects via bluetooth and is dirt cheap,I borrowed a wiimote and got it working with my pc. today i find your program and all is just wonderful! thanks a lot for this fine work! two questions: 1. why the additional program? is the dll interface just too complicated for autoit? 2. can you make a function for the buzzer?
